This is Bawalian Kalan.

Bawalian Kalan is a village in District Chakwal, in Punjab, Pakistan. It is also spelt Bahwaley Kallan, Bawale Kalan and Bāwale Kalān in different records. Dhudial is about 21 km away in a straight line, Chakwal city about 28 km, and the Katas Raj temples and Choa Saidan Shah each about 48 km.

The land around the village belongs to the Potohar plateau: dry, ravined country with the Salt Range to the south. Life here has long depended on rain-fed farming, and wheat and groundnut are the crops most associated with the plateau. Many families in this region have members serving in the army or working abroad, and that bond between home and far-off places is part of the area's character.

The full story of Bawalian Kalan, its families, its elders and its everyday life is still to be told, and this page is open for its people to tell it.

گاؤں کے اردگرد پوٹھوہار کا خشک اور نالوں سے کٹا ہوا علاقہ ہے، جس کے جنوب میں نمک کی پہاڑیاں ہیں۔ یہاں کی زندگی بارش پر انحصار کرنے والی کھیتی باڑی سے جڑی رہی ہے۔ اس علاقے کے بہت سے گھروں کے افراد فوج میں ہیں یا پردیس میں روزگار کر رہے ہیں۔ گاؤں کی اپنی کہانی ابھی اس کے اپنے لوگوں نے سنانی ہے۔
