The name Mandi Bahauddin is combination of two words “Mandi” and “Bahauddin”. Mandi (market) was prefixed because it was a flourishing grain market and Bahauddin was borrowed from nearby old village Pindi Bahauddin, which has now become part of the town. Mandi Bahauddin, located between the brackets of two rivers Jhelum (north 12 km) and Chenab (south 39 km), is a city in central Punjab, Pakistan. Consisting of three tehsils: Mandi Bahaudin, Phalia and Malakwal, it is the capital city and administrative center of the District Mandi Bahauddin. Having the area of 2673 sq. kilometers and being 220 meters above the sea level, it is the 41st largest city of Pakistan by population.
