تاریخ کو اپنے وجود سے شرمندہ کرتا ہوا یہ قدیم شہر ملتان کے نام سے جانا اور پہچانا جاتا ہے ۔کرشن اور جمباوتی کی منتوں مرادوں سے مانگی ہوئی اولاد سامبا نے سورج کے دیوتا کے لیے شہر کے بیچو بیچ جو مندر تعمیر کروایا تھا اسی نسبت سے شہر کو مول استھان پکارا جانے لگا۔ جو مولتان سے ملتان ہو گیا۔ خارجی دروازوں سے منسلک فصیل نے شہر کے اندرون کو ماں کے دامن کی طرح صدیوں سے سمیٹا ہوا تھا کہ بالائی پنجاب کے راجہ رنجیت سنگھ کے حملے نے اسے بکھیر کر رکھ دیا۔ ملتان اپنے ہی دروازوں سے باہر آ گیا۔ چناب کے کناروں نے فاصلہ کر لیا۔ یوں وہ شہر جہاں سے پورے ہندوستان میں ہولی کا تہوار شروع ہوا تھا پھیکا پڑتا گیا۔
گو اندرون شہر میں وقت کے بھاری وجود سے دبی کہنہ عمارتیں اب بھی گزری عظمتوں کا پتہ دیتی ہیں۔ لیکن یہاں پر بسنے والے لوگوں کی آنکھوں میں سفر کی تھکان دکھائی دینے لگ پڑی ہے۔ دور جدید کے تقاضوں نے ان کو اسی شہر میں ہی اجنبی کر دیا ہے جس کو ان کے آباؤ اجداد نے کئی قرن آباد رکھا۔ اب پرانے شہر سے ان کو صرف وسائل کی کمی نے باندھ رکھا ہے وگرنہ یہ لوگ بھی کھیتوں کو تیاگ کر تعمیر کیے جانے والی ہاؤسنگ سوسائٹیز میں منتقل ہو چکے ہوتے۔

I am lucky enough to explore Multan city in a very pleasant weather. Its been raining here since three days which has completely canceled out the heat.
A part from exploring shrines and mandirs of Multan, I got opportunity to shoot the Ghanta Ghar (Clock Tower) of Multan that was built during the British Empire and is one of the imporant landmark of the city. The tower gets extreme road trafic because of development of infra structure including 6 flyovers so all the traffic gets directed to this central point.
I tried to take a long exposure shot and got this outcome

Multan City History
Multan is a city in seraikistan. It is built just east of the Chenab River. About 966 km from Karachi and more or less right in the center of the country lie the ancient city of Multan. Multan, the 'City of Pirs and Shrines' is a prosperous city of bazaars, mosques, shrines and superbly designed tombs.
A circular road around the rampart gave access to the city through thirteen gates. Some of the imposing structures of these gates are still preserved. In the bazaars of the Old City one still comes across tiny shops where craftsmen can be seen busy turning out master-pieces in copper, brass, silver as well as textiles in the traditional fashion.
The old city has narrow colorful bazaars full of local handicrafts and narrow winding lanes. There are many places of historical, cultural and recreational interest in the city.
Multan is a commercial and industrial center, it is connected by road a rail with Lahore and Karachi and by air with Karachi, Quetta, and Faisalabad. Industries include fertilizer, soap, and glass factories; foundries; cotton, woolen and silk textile mills; flour, sugar and oil mills; and a large thermal-power station. It is famous for its handicrafts (ceramics and camel-skin work) and cottage industries. There are hospitals, public gardens, and several colleges affiliated with the University of the Punjab. The University of Multan was established in 1975. Large, irregular suburbs have grown outside the old walled town, and two satellite towns have been set up. The numerous shrines within the old city offer impressive examples of workmanship and architecture.

The tomb of Shah Rukn-e-Alam was built between 1320 and 1324, is an unmatched pre-Moghul masterpiece. The Mausoleum of Rukn-i-Alam could possibly be considered as the glory of Multan.
From whichever side the city is approached, the most prominent thing that can be seen from miles all around is a huge dome. This dome is the Shrine of the saint. The tomb is located on the southwest side of the Fort premises. This elegant building is an octagon, 51 feet 9 inches in diameter internally, with walls 41 feet 4 inches high and 13 feet 3 inches thick, supported at the angles by sloping towers. Over this is a smaller octagon 25 feet 8 inches, on the exterior side, and 26 feet 10 inches high, leaving a narrow passage all round the top of the lower storey for the Moazzan, or public caller to prayers. The whole is surmounted by a hemispherical dome of 58 feet external diameter. The total height of the building, including a plinth of 3 feet, is 100 feet. As it stands on the high ground, the total height above the road level is 150 feet.[4]
Besides its religious importance, the mausoleum is also of considerable archaeological value as its dome is reputed to be the second largest in the world. The mausoleum is built entirely of red brick, bounded with beams of shisham wood, which have now turned black after so many centuries. The whole of the exterior is elaborately ornamented with glazed tile panels, string-courses and battlements. Colors used are dark blue, azure, and white, contrasted with the deep red of the finely polished bricks.
The tomb was said to have been built by Ghias-ud-Din Tughlak (r. 1320-1325) for himself during the days of his governorship of Depalpur, between 1320 and 1324 AD, but was given by his son, Muhammad bin Tughluq to the descendents of Shah Rukn-e-Alam for the latter’s burial in 1330.
The mausoleum of Rukn-e-Alam has been admired by not only the travelers and chroniclers but also by the art-historians and archaeologist who wrote the architectural history of the subcontinent.
In the 1970s the mausoleum was thoroughly repaired and renovated by the Auqaf Department of the Punjab Government. The entire glittering glazed interior is the result of new tiles and brickwork done by the Kashigars of Multan.
