Khairpur

Khairpur Tamewali lies in the plains of southern Punjab, in the country east of Bahawalpur. The settlement belongs to a landscape between the Sutlej valley and the drier lands of Cholistan. Rivers and their changing channels have long shaped the neighbouring plain, while routes across the dry country connected its towns and villages. The name distinguishes this Khairpur from the better-known town of the same name in Sindh.
