    It looks like an ancient temple to me. May be somewhere in Salt Range?

    @ please don’t tell me its another Hindu temple !!
    ATP is very soft these days with what ever is Hindu
    Sikh or Sufi. Anyway,

    It looks like the remains of a watch tower near
    Garhi Khudda Buksh to observe enemy as well as
    the permanent residents. Saw Pir Minister several
    times inside, before leaving for his “Usayatraa”
    (newly discovered sanskrit term by Sherry dear)

    This is at Rohtas Fort but I forget what this structure is called. . . . Searching the web I found it; Haveli Maan Singh.

    At Rohtas Fort (Near Dina and Jehlum) [a World Heritage Site] this is one of the only main building in good shape within the walls. Most of the walls, buildings along the walls and the gates are standing and mostly in good shape. All passing through the G T Road are strongly recommended to visit the fort. It is only few minutes drive away from the main road.

    I am not sure where is this. But I can’t believe people are allowed to go on this weak structure. May be its a Mazar, and people go fearlessly up on the frail looking stairs.
