Hello guys đź‘‹
I hope you all are doing great. Previously I showed you guys some famous historic places in Wazirabad, but today I’ll be sharing with guys about some places that are hidden remains, people have forgotten them.
It is a Gurdawara placed in Wazirabad, which is a place for Sikhs to worship, it was built after the name of Guru Hargobindh Sahib Ji, who visited this place from his trip to Kashmir and stayed here. After his arrival his student gave his 13 acres of land to serve as this Gurdawara.
The building is very old now and texture of wall is seen clearly.
The stairs that follow up to the Gurdawara are very tiny and there is very small space to go up.
There are windows on the upper place of the Gurdawara, they are built beautifully.
The whole structure is built woth these tiny old fashioned bricks.
The whole place of this Gurdawara is surrounded by the trees which occupy this structure and adds to the beauty of it.
Anyhow, the next place that I visited was the Tomb of Maulana Zafar Ali Khan, who is the national hero of Pakistan and people have forgotten about their tomb as such too!
He was one of the active figures in facilitating the independence of Pakistan.
Here is the grave of him, my dad prayed for him there.
This is the picture of his grave.
On this wall there are all the pictures combined together of his important moments in life.
The pictures of him, when he was the part of Muslim league party in politics. He also was a writer and a journalist.
This is his home, it is also saved as it is and it is situated right next to his tomb.
This is an upclose picture of his home. The architecture is amazing. This staircase is something very exceptional.
This is the other side of his home.
His writings are engraved on the walls of the tomb.
The tomb was surrounded by such a beautiful garden.
Right in front of the halway of the tomb there is a mosque built. This is such a beautiful mosque nuilt with white marble stone.
At the exit door, there were these books displayed, that were written by Moullana Zafar Ali Kahn.
After visiting this place, we headed over to visit the Musaman Burj, it is an old historic place still kept for its beauty.
This is the other side of the building.
Inside this building there are many beautiful pieces from past are kept as memory.
Such that this mirror is such a Beautiful antique piece that is kept from the previous ages.
Then, there was this magnificent old clock. The interesting thing was that, it was still working fine.
There was this old almirah. I couldn’t open the door of it. I thought that if I would apply force to the door, the door might fell apart.
Then there was this old television. Those old classic televisions.
Then there was this piece which I was unable to understand but then my father told me that it is idol beloged to hindus from that time.
This is the picture of Mother of Pakistan, Fatima Jinnah, who visited this place and their picture is still saved by the inhabitants.
I was amazed to see the old bulb, it was so beautiful and I like such antiques so much that’s why I was totally in an aw to see such pieces. I really wanted to take some them with me to home but obviously couldn’t do that.
This is a heater from that time. I have seen such heaters that are still in use.
This was a frame, a wooden painting frame. It was my first time to witness such a painting and I’m not goung to lie I was quite unable to understand the concept of the painting. Despite that, it was still so beautiful.
Lastly, there was this piece, which again was perceived as an idol but I am not sure about this one.
After visiting this place we visited the mosque called “Masjid Musafran” it is one the most tall building as well as very old building of Wazirabad.
In order to go to the mosque top, we had to take the permission from the Imam Sabib of mosque. He was kind enough to allow us, then we entered the mosque.
There are so many stairs to go to the top, and I was not even ready for it :)
After crossing 100 of stairs finally I reached the top.
While crossing the stairs there were some windows present there.
The dome of the mosque was so big, to witness it from this upclose view was so unbelievable.
The whole Wazirabad city was seen from the top view. It was truly a dream to see this view.
The speakers of the mosque were so huge. However, then we visited our last place which was the “Sheesh mehal Gate” .
It was a mehal (Palace) which was built by the emperor Ranjeet Singh. But now it is destroyed but only this gate is present there.
This is the place that was used in past to place the fire lights.
This is the other side of this gate.
Lastly this the old abandoned home in Wazirabad. It was so beautiful yet it was so sad to witness that it was abandoned.
I was beyond words to describe its beauty. It’s door, windows everyting was just so beautiful.
Anyhow this was a short visit to my beloved city Wazirabad. I hope you guys liked to visit it with me too. This is it for today’s blog see you guys in the next one.
