Where the Mazari Chief Estate is located and it is situated in District Rajanpur of Punjab at the foot of the Sulaiman Range, near the inter-provincial borders of Balochistan, Sindh and Punjab.

The original city of Rojhan, situated a few kilometers from the present day city, was burnt down by the Sikh forces under the command of Raja Kharak Singh ( Maharaja Ranjit Singh's son ) in retaliation to an earlier raid on Mithankot by Mazari forces under the command of the Mazari chief's younger brother Sardar Karam Khan in 1836.
The present city was constructed during the reign of the famous Mazari chief, Nawab Sir Imam Buksh Khan Mazari K.C.I.E. during the early and middle part of the 19th century.
The word 'Rojhan' traces its roots back to the ancient Akkadian language of Babylon meaning the 'City of Tents'.
The city is a site to many ancient yet beautiful buildings and tombs of the Mazari Nawabs and Sardars dating back to the 17th century.
