== History == The town was founded in the 1590s during the reign of Mughal Emperor Akbar by his prominent minister, Abdul Rahim Khan-i-Khanan. Due to its strategic location on the original imperial highway (the historic route connecting Lahore, Delhi and Agra), it served as an important stop for travelers during the Mughal era. thumb|Remnants of the Sarai built by Abdul Rahim Khan-i-Khanan in Manhala
