It is claimed that Rig Veda was written in Multan, its architects devised the perfect arch in buildings and wrote the first book on architecture. Alexander the Great in 326 B.C destroyed the stronghold of Malavas or Mali and it is presumed that this stronghold was at Multan or near it.
Multan remained culturally more under the Arabs and central Asian influence than that of the Indians. Handicrafts famous from Multan are: hand painted pottery, fine handloom materials, gold & silver jewelry, exquisite embroidery-work, fine “chicken-kari”, gota.
