Introduction
Hiran Minar (Urdu: ہرن مینار; or "The Deer Tower") is an early 17th-century Mughal era complex located in Sheikhupura, in the Pakistani province of Punjab.
Location
The Hiran Minar complex is located in the city of Sheikhupura, about 40 kilometres northwest of Lahore. The complex is located near the Sheikhupura Fort, which also dates from the early 17th century. Both sites are accessible from Lahore via the M2 Motorway, which connects Lahore to the Islamabad.
History
Hiran Minar was built during the reign of the Mughal Emperor Jahangir in a hunting reserve used by the Mughal royals. The reserve was built in a scrub forest, and allowed Mughal emperors to experience a sense of semi-wilderness near the imperial city of Lahore.[6] The wild-reserve was used as a park where visitors could enjoy the sport of hunting.[6]
The minaret itself was built in 1606 C.E. as a monument to Emperor Jahangir's beloved pet antelope, Mansiraj, or "Lord of All Animal Beings"'. The practice of building such tomb-markers over the skulls of game animals is an ancient Persian custom.[7]
The minaret and tank were soon accompanied by a larger pavilion, built during the reign of Shah Jahan.

Great information about Lanark "Hiran Minar Tomb". But try to add some thoughts by yourself. It seems that you have taken all the content from the internet with their source link. Quality is matter and personality is made by you. I hope you get it. 😉
