Dhigri (Dera Ghazi Khan) is an important city in the southern Punjab province of Pakistan, located along the Indus River and historically a strategic location connecting Sindh and Balochistan. The area is predominantly agricultural, producing cotton, wheat and sugarcane, and is one of Pakistan's important food and cotton producing regions. The city takes its name from the title of Ghazi Khan, a British colonial officer in the 19th century, and its old town retains its Mughal-era architecture, with mosques and traditional markets full of rich local flavor. Digri is also the commercial center of the surrounding area and is well known for its handicrafts such as embroidered carpets and pottery.
