  1. The Minar e Masumi(Tower of Masum)
    Brick tower that is said to be 84ft tall, with 84 steps and 84 in circumference at the base was built in 1605-10 by Masum Shah.

    The Balcony at the top is now surrounded by an iron railing to prevent suicidal persons from flinging themselves to their death below but i did easily managed to squeeze out between 2 bars. Hence, the railing is to prevent fat peole from suicide.
