It is believed that Mahmud Ghaznavi passed through here with his army and at the place of river Jhelum Pir Tajuddin fell ill and he had to rest here. After staying here for a few days,Pir Tajuddinpassed away. Another opinion about him is that in 1880, Pir Tajuddin came from Kot Core to Mauza Maghiana (Jhang) for sight seeing and recreation. When he came to the river Jhelum, he came here and saw the unconsciousness of Islam in the people. He took up residence and popularized the religion of Islam. Thus, his history is uncertain.
