Karor Lal Esan

Karor Lal Esan (Saraiki, Punjabi, Urdu: كروڑ لعل عيسن) is a city of Layyah District in the Punjab province of Pakistan.

The city is the capital of Karor Lal Esan Tehsil and the administrative subdivision of the district.

The city is partially named after a saint, Lal Esan who, it is believed, recited 10 million times the Surah Muzammil (a chapter in the Quran) while standing inside the Indus River.

Lal Esan (original name: Sheikh Yousuf) was the grandfather of Muslim saint and poet Bahauddin Zakariya Multani.

After that people finally took matters into their own hands and rebuilt their homes on raised dirt platforms five to six feet high.
