Sandalbar

Sandalbar is a region in Pakistan. The vast tract from Shahdara to Shorekot, Sangla Hill to Toba Tek Singh, is traditionally called Sandalbar. Faisalabad was once part of ancient district Jhang and Sandalbar, a 50-square kilometre part mainly consisted of thick forests and wild tribes. It has been a land of freedom fighters and great lovers - famous among Sikhs and other faiths. The great freedom fighters, such as Bhagat Singh - came from Bange village, nine kilometres from Jaranwala. The legendry love hero, Mirza Jutt, was born in Moza Danabad, seven kilometres from Jaranwala.

This area is known for Jhumar, a lively form of music and dance that originated in the Punjab region in Pakistan, mainly in Balochistan (Pakistan) & Sandalbar areas.
