Wondering in the Streets of Historical Eminabad (2020)

Date of Visit:- 23 August 2020


Situated approximately 10 to 15 kilometers southeast of the bustling city of Gujranwala, Eminabad emerges as a town steeped in antiquity. Its history dates back to a time long past, believed to have been inhabited during the first century BCE under the rule of Raja Salavan of Sialkot.

Prior to the partition of Hindustan, Eminabad thrived as a vibrant melting pot, where a diverse community of Hindus, Sikhs, and Muslims coexisted harmoniously. Even in the present day, the remnants of splendid architecture that grace the landscape serve as poignant reminders of the town's rich cultural and religious heritage.

These architectural marvels include resplendent Havelis adorned with intricate designs, serene gardens that evoke a sense of tranquility, majestic gateways that once welcomed visitors with grandeur, sacred temples where devotees sought solace, and gurdwaras where Sikhs congregated to pay homage to their faith.

Exploring Eminabad provides a unique opportunity to journey through time, immersing oneself in the tapestry of history and bearing witness to the tangible echoes of the past.
