Hiran Minar (Urdu: ہرن مینار; or "The Deer Tower") is an early 16th-century Mughal era complex located in Sheikhupura, in the Pakistani province of Punjab.
The complex was built at the site of a game reserve in honour of Mughal Emperor Jahangir's beloved antelope named Mansraj.[3] The Emperor is remembered for his fondness of nature,[4] and his complex embodies the Mughal relationship between humans, pets, and hunting.[5][1]
