Gazetteer of the Mianwali District, originally published in 1915, mentioned the existence of a prosperous town in
the vicinity of present-day Rokhri, near Mianwali. The statement is based upon a significant number of finds in the
form of architectural remains, potsherds, sculptures, and coin. Because the archaeological profile of District
Mianwali has not been explored and documented completely, a recent visit of the site by the authors became a
source of inspiration to write this article to explore, highlight and understand the significance of the site in the
overall historical context in tangible and intangible heritage of Mianwali. The research is also being carried out to
take a view of the present condition of the archaeological mound of Rokhri in Mianwali District through reexploring the site Primary objective of the present paper is to document, investigate, highlight and extend the scope
of the site by putting together information through archaeological, historical and oral records/traditions from the
area. The outcome of this research would be useful to understand the cultural profile of the Rokhri Mound. It
would also help to determine the Archaeological historical religious, socioeconomic and sociocultural significance
of the region with special reference to the Ancient site of Rokhri, Mianwali.
