I am very fond of knowing history as when visiting such places there are boards and various information to increase knowledge .When I go to such ancient places, I get a lot of information about the skill of the people of that time, the beautiful carvings on the walls and the beautiful tiles used.

During the British era, a villa was built here, which is now being used as a police station.There is also a marriage temple here, many Hindu people come here and perform marriage rituals there.
How much does it cost, tickets or anything to visit the place.
As i live in Sargodha, Katas Raj is located near Chakwal .From here when we go to our car, Chakwal is reached after two and a half hours journey from here and Katas Raj is also located near it.All we need to get from here to that place is the fare.
