Daryalal Street, Karachi

Daryalal Street (Also known as Darya Lal Street) is a small street in Jodia Bazar neighborhood of Karachi, Sindh, Pakistan. The street was home to several Sindhi Hindus prior to the independence of Pakistan in 1947. Despite now being almost entirely Muslim, the inhabitants of the area maintain the street's Hindu name, and have avoided pressure to rename it with a Muslim name.

The street's western terminus is at the intersection of Kundan Street, and its eastern terminus is at Campbell Street. Along the way, it intersects with Ram Bharti Street, Napier Road, Virjee Street, and Murad Khan Road.
