[1] It has an area of 9,560 km2 (3,690 sq mi)[2] and ts population is 93,000 (2020 est.).

[3] The district consists of two urban-type settlements (Bogʻdon, Uchquloch) and 10 rural communities (Omonkeldi, Darvoza, Arnasoy, Qoraabdol, Egizbuloq, Qizilqum, Forish, Uxum, Garasha, Osmonsoy).

There is an assumption that later in the local dialect this term changed to "Farij", "Forij", "Forish".

Therefore, the idea that the word Paris came to us through the Russian language during the time of Amir Temur cannot be accepted as close to reality.

The name of the district was named after ancient village of Porasht, located 30 kilometers northwest of the current district center, northern side of Nurata Mountains.
