One of the most famous saints of Lahore, Hazrat Mian Mir, after whom the whole area was named, his shrine is approximately in the center of the two railway crossings on the road which leads to Allama Iqbal Road. It is a large compound, the beautiful mausoleum with its unusual architectural character, presenting itself in its full glory. Across the road to the east of the tomb of Hazrat Mian Mir, is a large Chahar Bagh (four-quartered garden or paradisiacal garden) in the center of which stands the tomb of Nadira Begam. The whole area is known as Mian Mir after the saint, and in fact, the Lahore Cantonment which was established by the British Raj in 1852 AD was originally given the name of Mian Mir Cantonment as it was close to the shrine.
