Pre-Partition house in Rawalpindi

A pre-Partition house with beautiful wooden balcony located the historical area of Rawalpindi. This house is good example for renovation and preservation of our heritage.




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.
