Piplan (Punjabi, Template:Lang-ur), is the main city of Piplan Tehsil in Mianwali District, situated in Punjab, Pakistan.[2]
It is almost 52 km (by road) from the district capital Mianwali which lies to the north. Piplan is surrounded by many other similar towns: To the south are the towns of Musa Wali Mattha, Churkin, Jhanbir and Kaloor Kot, to the north are Doaba, Mianwali, Alluwali, Kundian and Mianwali to the east, Hernoli and Hafiz Wala and to the west is the Indus River.
History
The name of Piplan was given historically before the independence of Pakistan in 1947. Many Hindus used to live in Piplan and the name of this town was Peepul or Peepul wala (Peepul: fig tree, regarded as sacred by both Hindus and Buddhists, who call it a "bo tree"). Later, after the independence of Pakistan in 1947, the name was changed to Peepul-Aan, now written as Piplan.
