Rachna Doab (Punjabi: رچنا دوآب) can be classified as one of the main regions of Punjab, Pakistan.^[1] Punjab historically has been divided into regions based on its various rivers, since the name Punjab is based on its five main rivers. Rachna doab includes all the area between the Chenab and Ravi Rivers, all the way from the Jammu Division till their confluence in Punjab, Pakistan. It lies between 30° 35' and 32° 50' N. and 71° 50' and 75° 3' E. The name was given by the Mughal emperor Akbar, by combining the first syllables of the names of the two rivers.
