Re: Historical Places of the Subcontinent
I seriously want to know whats the reason behind the name of Garhi Dupatta?
There is a place near Muzaffarabad called ‘Itr Sheesha’.. I read story behind this place’s name in Dr Sher Shah Syed’s Book ‘Kon Dilan Dia Jane’ - a book about life stories of women suffering from fistula..
It has been mentioned that centuries ago, a caravan was traveling in a valley near Muzaffarabad. After passing night at a place, when they caravan moved, they found that the mirror (sheesh) and itr bottle (perfume bottle) of the leader’s daugther was missing. The leader of the caravan sent his men to bring these things. After this event, the place became famous with the name of ‘Itr Sheesha’.
