Masjid Wazir Khan

Lahore has lots of historical places but Masjid Wazir Khan one of the best which I like most. Its fresco art and architecture is marvelous. There is no any other example like this place in Lahore. Masjid Wazir Khan was built in seven years, starting around 1634–1635 AD, during the reign of the Mughal Emperor Shah Jehan. It was built by Hakim Shaikh Ilm-ud-din Ansari, a native of Chiniot, who rose to be the court physician to Shah Jahan and a governor of Lahore. The mosque is inside the Inner City and is easiest accessed from Delhi Gate. The mosque contains some of the finest examples of Qashani tile work from the Mughal period.

The Battle of Chillianwala

The Battle of Chillianwala was fought in January 1849 during the Second Anglo-Sikh War in the Chillianwala region of Punjab (Mandi Bahauddin), now part of modern-day Pakistan. The battle was one of the bloodiest fought by the British East India Company. Both armies held their positions at the end of the battle and both sides claimed victory. The battle was a strategic check to immediate British ambitions in India and a shock to British military prestige.

A historical Temple located in Rasool Nagar

A historical Temple located in Rasool Nagar(Old name was Ram Nager) district Gujranwala. Its structure is amazing but in shameful condition. This precious heritage is going to waste due to Government negligence. This holly place is hired by the local person from Govt, and using as Tabella for Goats and sheeps. Its fresco art work is mind blowing. This temple can be use for welfare of the people after renovation. Temples are not the heritage of India, now its our heritage so these precious treasure should be save and preserved.
