Short description

There are various theories behind the naming of the Gor-e-Shaheed field. According to history, the British army gathered here during the Second World War. Again, according to the locals, Shah Amiruddin Ghuri (RA) died here after coming from Persia to spread Islam. The field is named after him. Another legend is that during the reign of Sultan Shamsuddin Ilyas Shah, a Sufi was martyred in a battle between 40 Sufis and a Hindu king, and he was buried here. In Persian, the grave is called 'Ghor', hence the name of the field is Gor-e-Shaheed Maidan.
