Jhawarian

Jhawarian is a town located near the Jhelum River in Shahpur Tehsil of Sargodha District in the Punjab province of Pakistan.

== History == The town of Jhawarian, with origins dating back six hundred years, was established by the Bhatti Rajput tribe who migrated from Pindi Bhattian. The agricultural possibilities of the place and the proximity of the river made it suitable for settlement. The name "Jhawarian" is believed to have multiple possible origins. One scholarly interpretation suggests that it is derived from "Joharian," stemming from the word "Johar" (meaning jewel or gem), attributed to the presence of distinguished Islamic scholars (Ulama) in the region, who were metaphorically referred to as "jewels" (Johari). Another tradition links the name to the area's production of pure gold jewelry, reflecting its historical craftsmanship and trade in fine jewelry. Additionally, an account highlights the influence of a prominent Muslim landowner named Jhawari from the Bhatti tribe, who played a significant role in the community during the time of Dullah Bhatti, a local hero who opposed the Mughal Emperor Akbar. The confluence of these rich historical and cultural elements shaped the identity of Jhawarian.
