Pakistan has a lot of Historical Places Hiran Minar is one of them. Hiran Minar’s “Deer Tomb” was constructed in the era of Mughal Emperor Jahangir and belonged to the best sites. It was built in a “hunting reserve” that was only for the “Mughal royals”. The hunting reserve was initially built in the forest consisting of small bushes. The reason is that Mughal emperors were fond of chasing nature games.
The hunting reserve provides the royals with an experience of semi-wilderness around the imperial city of Lahore. Thus, the place was initially used as a park by the visitors, and they enjoyed hunting sport.
Hiran Minar was constructed in 1606 C.E. as a landmark at the request of the Mughal emperor. He requested to build the tower and grave for his beloved pet, having the name “Mansiraj” (having the meaning of “lord of all animal beings”).
From history, it has come known that the emperor ordered to cover the Hiran where it was breathed for the last time, and a tower was assembled there, and later on, Hiran Minar knew it.
Soon after, it was accompanied by the pavilion constructed in the reign of Mughal emperor Shah Jahan.
