The Nahar dynasty was parallel against the Langah Dynasty of Multan. Nahar Dynasty established by Lodhi Family during Syed Dynasty of Delhi in the southern part of Muzaffargarh and Dera Ghazi Khan. It was a strong regional government and they maintained and protected their political identity against other strong regional powers i.e. Langah and Miranis Dynasties of Multan and Dera Ghazi Khan respectively.
