Hiran Minar is a historical monument located in Sheikhupura, Punjab, Pakistan. It was built by Emperor Jahangir in the early 17th century as a hunting lodge and memorial to his pet deer named Mansraj. The complex consists of a large water tank, a pavilion, and a tall minaret surrounded by an open green space.

The most prominent feature of the complex is the 30-metre tall minaret, which is covered in intricate geometric patterns and has an octagonal shape. It is believed that the minaret was used by the emperor to keep an eye on the surrounding area during hunting expeditions.

The water tank in the complex is also an impressive sight, with a diameter of 190 feet and a depth of 20 feet. It is believed that the tank was used to train elephants and horses for battle.

The pavilion in the complex is a two-storey structure with a large central hall and several smaller rooms on the sides. The pavilion is decorated with frescoes and carvings that depict scenes from the life of Jahangir and Mansraj.
