Faisalabad, Industrial metropolis in Punjab, Pakistan
Located between the Chenab and Ravi rivers, Faisalabad spans across fertile plains with extensive canal networks supporting agricultural production.
The city originated in 1890 as Lyallpur during British India, named after Sir Charles James Lyall before changing to Faisalabad in 1977.
The population of 3.8 million residents maintains Punjabi traditions through local festivals, textile crafts, and regional food specialties including tandoori preparations.
