Description
Name: Hiran minar
Location: Sheikhupura Lahore
Constructed by: Emperor Jhangir
Built in : 1606
Significance: It was constructed by Emperor Jahangir as a monument to Mansraj, one of his pet deer.
special feature of Hiran Minar is its location and environment: the top of the minar is perhaps the best place in the province of Punjab to get a feel for the broader landscape and its relationship to a Mughal site.
Looking north from the top of the minar, one can see a patch of forest which is similar to the scrub forest vegetation of Mughal times, while to the west are extensively-irrigated fields, a product of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, but similar in size and appearance to the well-irrigated fields of the Mughal period.
