Why its called Crescent Bahuman.
Bahuman is a village of central Punjab situated in the Pindi Bhattian District Hafizabad.
This village is two centuries old, according to the facts and figures, when Sikh Ruler Raja
Ranjit Singh attacked on Hafizabad in 1802 he brought the area of Pindi Bhattian under his
supervision also. Later on, he captured all the Punjab. Some people say that Bahuman
was the water Channel of Chenab River once and Bahuman was established by a Dervish
(Saint) named Baho on the bank of the river. In Punjabi, Maan is the bank of the river and
since Baho was his name the area was given the name Bahuman. But this story could not
be confirmed because there isnt any shrine of any Saint
