The subject of this photograph has great historical importance. It requires immediate conservation effort to save it from complete collapse which is imminent. But lets first see how many ATP readers can guess a) what it is, b) where, and b) to whom it belongs? Happy guessing.
Answer and info about original photographer coming up in 2-3 days.
Dear Readers,
While All Things Pakistan has remained alive and online, it has been dormant since June 11, 2011 - when, on the blog's 5th anniversary, we decided that it was time to move on. We have been heartened by your messages and the fact that a steady traffic has continued to enjoy the archived content on ATP. While the blog itself will remain dormant, we are now beginning to add occasional (but infrequent) new material by the original authors of the blog, mostly to archive what they may now publish elsewhere. We will also be updating older posts to make sure that new readers who stumble onto this site still find it useful.
We hope you will continue to find ATP a useful venue to reflect upon and express your Pakistaniat. - Editors
Qila Maan Singh, rohtas fort
The particular place is at Rohtas fort.
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.
“eminent” –> imminent. :)
