Rawalpindi is one of the most important cities of Pakistan. Before the partition of India, there were many Hindu and Sikh families living here. Several areas of Rawalpindi have Hindu/Sikh names like Amarpura, Angatpura, Krishanpura, Akaal-garh, Mohanpura, Bagh Sardaraan.
I have posted pictures of a few old and ruined Hindu and Sikh architectures. However, I have just been able to take the pictures. Most of these temples and gurudwaras are in very bad conditions. There is not much information available about them either..I have indicated the locations of these temples and gurudwaras.If you have any information regarding these heritage buildings, please let me know.
