Dunga Bunga

On the edge of Cholistan, the cultivated plains of southern Punjab give way to the dry country known locally as Rohi. The old bed of the Hakra crosses this desert, with traces of ancient settlements along its course. In medieval times a chain of forts, including Marotgarh and Derawar, guarded routes through the sandy landscape. The region formed part of the wider Thar, where rain and access to water shaped the movements of its inhabitants.
