Abstract
Gazetteer of the Mianwali District, originally published in 1915, mentioned the existence of a prosperous town in the vicinity of present-day Rokhri, near Mianwali. The statement is based upon a significant number of finds in the form of architectural remains, potsherds, sculptures, and coin.
