Heer and Ranjha's Tomb

Pakistan

The Tomb of Heer Ranjha (Punjabi:, romanized: Maqbarā(h) Hīr Rānj (h)ē Dā) is a 15th-century historic monument and presumed mausoleum of Heer Syal and Dheedo Ranjha, from the traditional Punjabi folk tragedy of Heer Ranjha, situated in Jhang, Punjab, Pakistan. Heer and Ranjha is one of several popular romantic works of folklore from the Indian subcontinent. There are several poetic narrations of the tragic story, the most famous being Heer by Waris Shah written in 1766. Jhang was Heer's home, therefore they were buried here. Every year during Muharram the Urs is held at the tomb.
