1. Pattan Minara


Patan Minara has a beautiful and a great history. Historians have a view that it was built by the army of Alexander the Great when they reached the Indus Basin. It was built as a light house/watch tower on the river bank.

Much of its physical existence is kept original, added with a bit of modern brick structure to hold it strong.
Modern day administration of Pakistan is trying best to keep the site alive.

6.Bhong Mosque: The Hidden Jewel of RahimYar Khan


Bhong Mosque is located in the village of Bhong, Rahim Yar Khan District, Punjab Province, Pakistan. It was designed and constructed over a period of nearly 50 years and won the Aga Khan Award for Architecture in 1986.

Islamic architecture is rich in decorative patterns. Mosques were constructed in the past as simple buildings for offering prayers five times a day. However, in subsequent periods, various features of ornamentation in the form of geometry and arabesque were applied to the surfaces of mosques to portray paradise symbolically. This research applied descriptive approaches to examine the surviving patterns of the Aga-Khan-awarded Bhong Mosque and categorized these patterns as geometric and arabesque. This categorization was achieved by photography, use of software for patterns, and conducting interviews with local elderly persons in the region. The geometric patterns were simple 6- and 8-point star patterns. Several of the earliest examples of rosette petals exhibited 8- and 10-point star patterns and were categorized by incorporating the geometric style and location of mosques. This research investigated different arabesque categories and inscription types and determined the aesthetic and cultural reasons for their placement on various surfaces. Frescoes had different types of flowers, fruits, and leaves, and a few of them belonged to the local region.
