Article-No. 9 on Eminabad

Eminabad is a town located 10 to 15 kilometers southeast of Gujranwala city. The history of this town is quite ancient, it is believed that the town was inhabited during the first century BCE by Raja Salavan of Sialkot.

In Eminabad, before the partition of 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.

In the south of Eminabad remains of a pre-partition Walled Garden in decrepit conditions are still present, this garden belonged to some Hindu family before 1947. It used to have a large entrance gateway and wall constructed of small bricks extracted from the adjacent mound.
