This is Choa Saidan Shah.

Choa Saidan Shah is a village in the hills of southern Chakwal district, in Punjab, Pakistan. It is the administrative centre of Choa Saidan Shah tehsil, and it sits in a bowl-shaped valley ringed by hills, with trees and orchards all around. The Katas Raj temples and Malot are each about 3 km away, and Dandot in the Salt Range lies about 9 km off.

The village takes its name from the saint Saidan Shah Shirazi. The legend tells that the land was once a desert until the holy man struck the ground with his staff and sweet water rose up. 'Choa' is the Punjabi word for spring. The village's roses and perfumes are known well beyond these hills.

The fuller story of our village, its families and its days, is still for its own people to tell, and we invite you to add it here.

اس بستی کا نام حضرت سیدن شاہ شیرازی کے نام پر رکھا گیا۔ روایت ہے کہ یہاں کی زمین کبھی ریگستان تھی، پھر بزرگ نے اپنی لاٹھی زمین پر ماری اور میٹھے پانی کا چشمہ پھوٹ پڑا۔ پنجابی میں چوآ کا مطلب چشمہ ہے۔ یہاں کے گلاب اور عطر دور دور تک مشہور ہیں۔ اس بستی کی پوری کہانی، یہاں کے خاندان اور یہاں کے دن، ابھی اس کے اپنے لوگوں کو سنانی ہے۔
