Pul Kanjari
ਪੁਲ ਕੰਜਰੀ
A Sikh Empire site near the Wagah border, with a small bridge, bathing pools and temples built by the Maharaja for a dancer. It was also a battlefield in 1971.
According to legend, Ranjit Singh built a small bridge here so that his beloved dancer Moran could travel easily to and from Lahore. Nearby are bathing pools, pavilions, a guru's shrine, a Hindu temple and a mosque, which reflect the diverse coexistence of the time. Fierce fighting took place here during the 1971 Indo-Pakistani War, and a war memorial now stands on the site. The site is small and sees few visitors. It is about 5 km from the Wagah crossing and can be visited on the way to the flag-lowering ceremony.
