Spreading its beauty near Chakwal in Punjab province of Pakistan, the most reverenced among all the temples are the Katas Raj Temples. In a heaven like surrounding, complex of temples stands in homage to the deities of Hindu mythology.

The Katas site houses the Satgraha or seven temples, a gathering of seven old temple, remains of a Buddhist stupa, a couple of medieval sanctuaries, havelis and some as the newly built sanctuaries, scattered around a lake considered sacred by Hindus.

The sanctuaries at Katas are mostly developed on square platforms. The elevation of the sub shrines seems to form a series of cornices with small rows of pillars, crowned by a ribbed dome.

Katas Raj, a conglomeration of temples preserves at least 1500 years worth of history ranging from Buddhist era to British rule in that particular space.

A unique project in Pakistan’s Hunza Valley to renovate and maintain the Altit Fort in a sustainable manner, using locally grown timber, has led to the employment of women as carpenters as an essential part of the work.

The repairs were carried out by a group of highly-trained women from an organisation called Ciqam, which means ‘wellbeing’, ‘prosperity’ or ‘green’ in the local Brushaski dialect. The women, many of whom come from the nearby historic settlement of Altit now manage the fort and its restaurant in the picturesque orchard below, which is visited by thousands of tourists each year.

عمر حیات محل (عمر حیات لائبریری) گلزار منزل کے نام سے بھی جانا جاتا ہے۔ پاکستان کے شہر چنیوٹ کے مرکز میں واقع لکڑی کی بنی ایک اعلی قسم کی عمارت ہے۔ یہ ایک پانچ منزلہ عمارت ہے۔ بدقسمتی سے اس کی اوپر والی دو منزلیں 1993ء میں گر گئیں۔ گرنے کی وجہ شدید طوفان اور بارش تھی جس نے ساری منزل کو کافی حد تک نقصان پہنچایا۔ هر سال سینکڑوں کی تعداد میں سیاح یہاں کا رخ کرتے ہیں۔
