This dilapidated building, located in Anarkali Bazaar just outside the northeastern edge of the Punjab University grounds,once housed a well that provided clean drinking water to the inhabitants of the area. The spacious well was commissioned by Rattan Singh, a Wine and General Merchant based in Anarkali. His name was inscribed in a marble slab, inserted in one of the walls of the building but can no longer be found. Today, the well is no more and the building is used for the purposes of a clothing shop.
Rattan Singh also built a beautiful drinking fountain near the General Post Office but no trace of it can be found.

Hazuri Bagh is a garden in Lahore, Pakistan, bounded by the Lahore Fort (east side), Badshahi Mosque (west side), the Samadhi of Ranjit Singh (north side) and the Roshnai Gate (south side). In the center stands the Hazuri Bagh Baradari, built by Ranjit Singh.
The Hazuri Bagh is a small enclosure between the Alamgiri Gate of the Lahore Fort and eastern gate of the Badshahi Mosque. This garden was built by Maharajah Ranjit Singh in 1813 to celebrate the capture of the famous Koh-i-Noor Diamond from Shah Shujah of Afghanistan. The Serai Alamgiri formerly stood here.
The garden was planned and built under the supervision of Faqir Azizuddin in the traditional Mughal style layout. After its completion, it is said, Maharajah Ranjit Singh, at the suggestion of Jamadar Khushhal Singh, ordered that marble be removed from various mausoleums of Lahore to construct a baradari (pavilion) here. This task was given to Khalifa Nooruddin. Elegant carved marble pillars support the baradari’s delicate cusped arches. The central area, where Ranjit Singh held court, has a mirrored ceiling. Both the garden and the baradari, originally a 45-foot, three-storey square with a basement approached by fifteen steps, suffered extensive damage during the fratricidal Sikh wars and was only reclaimed and laid out according to the original plan during the British period. On 19 July 1932, the uppermost story collapsed and was never reconstructed.
Every Sunday afternoon, people gather in the gardens to hear reciters recite traditional Punjabi Qisse, such as Heer Ranjha and Sassi Punnun, and other Punjabi Sufi poetry.
The tomb of Muhammad Iqbal lies across from the garden outside of the Badshahi Mosque.

The 'Court of Lahore'. Painting in oils by August Schoefft (1809-1888), after original drawings made by the artist at Lahore.
This Building is situated about 1.5 Kilometer from Gurdwara Sucha Sauda Sahib. Sucha Sauda - Manawala Road. It was at this spot that Bhai Mardana told Guru Sahib that he was hungry. It is located about a mile Gurdwara Sacha Sauda on the other side of the railway line. Some donkeys of a merchant laden with sugar were passing by. Guru Sahib asked Bhai Mardana to go and check with the merchant as to what was in the bags? The merchant replied, "It is sand." Guru Sahib said, "Sand it will be". When the bags were checked, it was really sand. The merchant fell on Guru Sahib’s feet and asked for forgiveness. Guru Sahib asked the merchant, "If it were not sand, what else could it be?" The merchant replied, "It was sugar, my Master!" Guru Sahib replied, "All right, sugar it shall be." When the bags were checked again, they actually contained sugar. The merchant unloaded his bags at the feet of the Guru Sahib. There is a splendid Gurdwara with a dome.
