''Note: National, provincial and district boundaries have changed considerably since 1908. Typically, old states, ‘divisions’ and districts have been broken into smaller units, and many tahsils upgraded to districts. Some units have since been renamed. Therefore, this article is being posted mainly for its historical value. ''

situated in 32° 5' N. and 74° 53' E., on the north bank of the Ravi,
35 miles south-east of Sialkot town. Population (1901), 4,422. The

of brass vessels, but native shoes of ornamental design are also made.
