It is situated on the banks of the river Indus. The tribes of Muradkhel (possibly of the Abdaal/Duranni tribe?), Syedkhel, Inamkhel and Khankhel known as Lodi Pashtun tribe, and follow pashtunwali code of conduct. The religion is Sunni Islam. The origins of the village are currently being studied, but all sources point to it being accommodated by the Pashtun tribes between 100–200 years old which rules out the Lodhi theory.

There is historical evidence of the Afghan Cameleers venturing from the village and into Australia for business purposes which occurred during the late 19th century. The cameleer on record belonged to the Muradzai/Muradkhel tribe itself a possible offshoot of the Durrani/Abdali tribe.

As of recent study into the history of the area, there has been some evidence which suggests the village may have been a pashtun army camp under Ahmad Shah Abdali. Invading armies from Afghanistan were usually camped next to the river Indus, and from there they would carry further military expeditions into Hindustan.

Further research into the area is being carried out now to confirm these findings.
