Hiran Minar (; or "The Deer Tower") is an early 16th-century Mughal era complex in Sheikhupura, in the Pakistani province of Punjab. It was built at the site of a game reserve in honour of Mughal Emperor Jahangir's beloved antelope, Mansraj. The emperor is remembered for his fondness of nature, and his complex embodies the Mughal relationship between humans, pets and hunting.Hiran Minar and Tank, Sheikhupura - description on UNESCO website Published 14 December 1993, Retrieved 1 May 2020 Read more on Wikipedia
