Multan Division

Multan Division is an administrative region in southern Punjab comprising four districts: Multan, Lodhran, Khanewal, and Vehari. The area consists of mostly flat terrain used for farming, with Multan city serving as the main urban center and divisional headquarters.

The region developed as a trade center over centuries and underwent significant boundary changes during the 19th century under British colonial administration. Several territories were later separated to form different administrative units in Punjab.

Pottery and textile crafts remain central to daily life across the districts, with artisans still working in traditional workshops and family businesses. These trades define the character of local markets and how people identify their communities.

October through March offers the most pleasant weather for traveling through the region, as summer heat becomes intense. Plan your route in advance, as rural areas have fewer services and facilities compared to Multan city.

The region is known for its heritage of black pottery from Multan, crafted using traditional techniques passed down through generations of artisans. These distinctive ceramics have gained recognition beyond local markets and appear in collections worldwide.
