The city in Pakistan often called the "Lion City" is Mandi Bahauddin.
Mandi Bahauddin, located in central Punjab between the Jhelum and Chenab rivers, carries this nickname due to a historical association with bravery and lionhearted individuals from the region. While specific origins of the nickname are not widely documented, it suggests a local perception of the city's people as courageous and strong, much like the symbolic lion.
