Pakpattan, Historical city in Punjab, Pakistan

Located 169 kilometers from Lahore, Pakpattan functions as the headquarters of Pakpattan district, situated along the banks of the Sutlej River.

Originally named Ajodhan, this settlement developed into a significant trade center during the medieval period, experiencing influences from the Maurya Empire and Mughal dynasties.

The annual gathering at Baba Farid's shrine draws over two million visitors, making it a central point for religious and spiritual practices in Punjab.

The city maintains strong agricultural production, with extensive cultivation of wheat, rice, cotton, and sugarcane in the surrounding fertile lands.

The Fareed Express train service, introduced in 2002, connects Pakpattan to major cities, continuing the railway heritage that began in 1910.
