Ancient Origins & Royal Ties

Legends say the king and princess had two daughters, one marrying Imam Husayn ibn Ali, special links embedding Matli deeply in regional history.

📍 Medieval Heritage & Local Power

The region includes Agham Kot, a settlement dating back to the 7th century, strategically situated by a branch of the Indus River. It was a thriving commercial hub before its decline in the 1700s.
