Bahawalpur
Bahawalpur, Pakistan
Description
Bahawalpur was an independent state before Pakistan came into existence in 1947. In 1780, the city was built on an old site. Nawab Bahawal Khan I (1746 - 1749) laid the foundation of Baghdad-ul-Jadidin in 1748, made the state the capital and ruled for 3 years. Apart from Dera Ghazi Khan, some parts of Sukkur, Multan, Sahiwal, and Muzaffargarh were also included in the state.
Over the years, Bahawalpur has become a developed city in Pakistan and can be categorized as a megacity in terms of real estate, parks, markets and institutions. Local shopping areas or bazaars look distinctive and sell embroidered clothes, slippers and locally made filigree pottery. Overall, the developed roads and green belts give a modern look to the city.
