Article-No. 6 on Eminabad

Eminabad is a town in Pakistani Punjab, which is situated 10 to 15 Kilometers southeast of Gujranwala city.  It is believed that this place was inhabited during the first century BCE by Raja Salavan of Sialkot.

On the outskirts of the Eminabad, a 15th Century Lodhi era historical mosque is present. Next to which, a graveyard is located. In the middle of this graveyard, remains of a mausoleum-like structure is present. Mughal era brick masonry was used in the construction of this edifice, however, most of the part of this structure crumbled down with time. Along this edifice, there are other graves present in the graveyard which were constructed of the same bricks.
