Shrine of Shah Jamal

This shrine is located in the adjacent to Sheikhupura Fort on the north east side. Ganesh Das Wadayrah wrote in his Persian book:

“Near the shrine of Shah Moti also known as Shah Jamal, King Jahangir started a village with his name and made the surrounding a hunting place.”

This quotation shows that your name was Shah Moti and in the era of Mughal Emperor Jahangir (1605-1627) this shrine was there.

In December 1972, this shrine was transferred to the department of Charitable Endowment. His anniversary takes place on the 2^nd Thursday of Har (Punjabi year). There are four graves in the south of the shrine.
