History
This town is named after the saint Saidan Shah Shirazi. The legend goes that the area was a desert until the holy man arrived, when he struck the ground with his staff and sweet water sprang up ("Choa" چوآ Punjabi means "spring"). The saint's shrine is set back from the main bazaar in a courtyard, and the annual urs is held in April.
