Gurdwara Lal Khoohi

Gurdwara Lal Khoohi (The Bloody Well), alternatively Gurdwara Lal Khooh or Lal Khoo, literally Gurdwara Well of Blood was a historical Gurdwara located in Lahore, Pakistan.[1] It was built at the site where the fifth Sikh Guru, Guru Arjan Dev, was incarcerated during the reign of the Mughal Emperor, Jehangir.[2][3]

It has since been repurposed into a Muslim shrine, Haq Char Yaar,[4] in reference to the first four caliphs in Islam.
