Hiran Minar, located in Sheikhupura, Pakistan, is a historic Mughal-era complex that dates back to the early 17th century. Constructed during the reign of Emperor Jahangir, the site was originally built as a hunting lodge and a memorial to the Emperor's beloved pet antelope, or "hiran." The complex is renowned for its distinctive minaret, which stands 30 meters tall, and an adjoining large, square water tank. The water tank is surrounded by a series of pavilions and served both as a water reservoir and a place of leisure. The architectural design of Hiran Minar exemplifies the Mughal fascination with nature and their sophisticated water management systems.
