Gujrat is situated on the bank of Chenab River, it is 120 Kilometers from Lahore and 176 Kilometers from Islamabad, the capital of Pakistan. It is located between two famous rivers, Jhelum River and Chenab River. Because of its proximity to the rivers, the land is good for cultivation of rice and sugarcane as main crops. Along with the nearby cities of Sialkot and Gujranwala, Gujrat forms part of the so-called Golden Triangle of industrial cities with export-oriented economies. Gujrat is a land of saints, historical places, forts, mosques, castles, buildings, roads and towns etc. Gujrat city was constructed in the form of a fort and it had four gates to enter in the city of Gujrat. It was called main Gujrat and now a days it is in
