⁵⁷ Abuhar has been described as a small and beautiful town by Ibn Batūṭah. Now it is a small town situated in Fazalkah tahsil, district Firuzpore on the South Punjab railway. Here in Talwandi in Abuhar district lived the Bhatti Raja Rana Mal whose daughter was married to Rajab, the father of Firuz Tughluq. The name is written as Abuhar and Abohar. It was founded by Janra, grandson of Raja Rasalu, the Bhatti and named after his wife Uboh and therefore Uboh-har is the correct name. The termination 'har' occurs in the names of many places where the Bhatti tribes dwell, or previously dwelt.
