What is now known as Pakistan was a Hindu majority region before the arrival of Muslims, which resulted in local population's conversion to Islam, over 1000 years ago. There are two places in Multan from that period of considerable antiquity
Sun Mandir
The most important place of the Hindu period was the "Sun Mandir". It was the most important place of worship throughout the sub-continent as referred to in many books. It was situated on one of the old Fort. There is however no trace of it now.
Suraj Kund
Another place was "Suraj Kund" (the pool of sun). It is about five miles to the South of Multan on the Bahawalpur Road. It was a pond 132 feet in diameter and 10 feet deep when full of water. Sawn Mal the Sikh Diwan surrounded it with an octagonal wall. lt was a place of pilgrimage till 1947 and two fairs were held here annually. One on the 7th of the Vanishing moon of Bhadon, and the other on the 7th of the rising moon of Magh, the numbers having references to the seven hours of the Sun's Chariot, according to the Hindu mythology or the seven Rishies.
