Abstract

Much has been written about Pattan Munara in Rahim Yar Khan district of Southern Punjab. However, unfortunately, no serious efforts have been made to reach the core issues relating to this monument still shrouded in mystery. We have made in-depth studies of this monument's secondary material, primarily based on oral traditions, records, and myths. We also visited this monument to examine it ourselves to gain a better idea and understanding of it. Our study is a combination of both primary and secondary research. An effort has been made to distinguish myths from realities and place this monument in its proper context.
