Pakistan isn’t only rich in landscape but it is also well known for it’s diverse and cultural historical places such as palaces, mosques and tombs of Kings and their loved ones that have been around since the beginning of time. That shows and tell us the stories of Pakistan before it’s independence. For example, Hiran Minar as seen in the picture below. Is a famous “rumoured tomb of ‘Mansraj‘. a pet deer of the 4th Mughal King Jahangir.” (Sheraz et al., 2019). Therefore, the Place gets its name after that.
