Shahi Mosque: Shahi Masjid was built by Nawab Saad UlIah Khanfrom 1646 to 1655 AD, during the time of Emperor Shah Jahan.  The mosque is set on a single-story structure, with four towers surrounding it, three domes and a prayer hall. Right under the mosque, within the four towers, are many shops. The Shahi Mosque is a perfect depiction of Mughal architecture and resembles Laal Qila of Dehli.  Hindu Temple: The classic Hindu Temple was built by Maharaja Gulab Singh. It is one of the many landmarksin the city of Chiniot. The astonishing temple is believed to be constructed during the second Anglo-Sikh war.
