Sandal Bar

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Sandal Bar is a region between the rivers Chenab and Ravi in Punjab, Pakistan. It's located in the Rachna Doab. It spreads over almost 80 km in width (west to east) and 40 km in length (north to south). "Bar", in the local language, means a forested area where there are no resources for cultivation, like water. This Bar is named after Saandal, thought to be the father of the legendary Punjabi hero, Dulla Bhatti. In older times, almost all the area of this bar was part of current Jhang District, but nowadays it is divided between the districts of Faisalabad, Jhang and Toba Tek Singh.
