Article No. 5 on Eminabad
In Eminabad, before the partition of the Hindustan, a large community of Hindus and Sikhs used to live alongside Muslims. One can still find remains of many beautiful architectures of that era present in the forms of Havelis, Gardens, Gateways, Temples, and Gurdwaras.
Southeast of the Eminabad a large pond having the dimension of 166 m x 196 m is present. On one side of this pond, a brick pathway of Nanak Shahi bricks still can be seen. In the center of this pathway, a Shamshan Ghat (Cremation ground) was present. One still can see supportive pillars that were built along the pond so ashes can be disposed of after cremation in accordance with Hindu traditions. According to the rituals, the son of the deceased lights the pyre fire at the shamshan ghat.
