Sandal Bar (Punjabi:ساندل بار), also known as theJungle Bar,[1] is the section of theBar region in western Punjab inPakistan and is located between the riversRavi andChenab, and comprises the southern part ofRechna Doab. It corresponds to the present-dayFaisalabad,Jhang,Toba Tek Singh andChiniot districts inPakistani Punjab.[2]
Sandal Bar is named after Sandal, grandfather of the 16th-century Punjabi chieftainDulla Bhatti who, according to the popular folklores, led a revolt against the Mughal rule in the Sandal Bar during the reign ofAkbar.[3] Until the late-19th century it was sparsely populated, when it was brought under irrigation after the establishment ofChenab Colony (Lyallpur) in 1892.[4]
