Sandal Bar (Punjabi: ساندل بار) is the section of the Bar region in western Punjab located between the rivers Ravi and Chenab, and comprises the southern part of Rechna Doab. It corresponds to the present-day Faisalabad, Jhang, Toba Tek Singh and Chiniot districts.^[1]

Sandal Bar is named after Sandal, grandfather of the 16th-century Punjabi chieftain Dulla Bhatti who, according to the popular folklores, led a revolt against the Mughal rule in the Sandal Bar during the reign of Akbar.^[2] Until the late-19th century it was sparsely populated, when it was brought under irrigation after the establishment of Chenab Colony (Lyallpur) in 1892.^[3]
