Sandal Bar

Sandal Bar

The Sandal Bar is a region between the rivers Chenab and Ravi in Punjab, Pakistan. It's located in the Rechna 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. Almost all the area of this bar used to be part Jhang District, but nowadays it is divided between the districts of Faisalabad, Jhang and Toba Tek Singh.
