Lovely Place... History calls when you put your first sight on it. One can assume the glory and rise of that fort when it was lively by that time ruler, Mir Chakar e Azam Rind. Fort's outside wall is very well maintained aling with two gates, there is living population inside it amd both gates are entey & exit points used by that residents. Circuler pathway of fort is also well maintained with tuff-tile and water sevage work is done in great way. Its Walled City Lahore Authority efforts to renivate that area. Loved my visit there, felt very happy that a historic place is preserved in a good way for a good cause.

Ruined history
Satghara is a town and union council of Okara District in the Punjab province of Pakistan. It is located at 3055'0N 7331'0E with an altitude of 164 metres (541 feet) and is also the location of the tomb of Baloch folk hero, Mir Chakar Rind. More than half of the town is inhabbited by Syeds. They also have a family graveyard where many great spiritual leaders including Syed Qaim Ali Shah Gilani who was also known as Pir Bodian Wala he was head of this lineage of the descendants of Abdul Qadir Gilani (Ghouse Al Azam) of Baghdad Sharif in Satghara, Syed Ahmed Shah Gilani who was lately known as Pir Bodian Wala was the eldest son, Syed Shams-Ud-Din Gilani, Syed Fateh Ali Shah Gilani, Syed Mubarik Ali Shah Gilani, Syed Ahmed Ali Shah Gilani (Chan Peer), Syed Jaffar Hussain Gilani, Syed Ali Bahadur Gilani, Syed Sher Shah Gilani and Syed Khadim Hussain Gilani (Peer Sahib) are lying in peace. Their shrines are built in the graveyard and are visible even from a great distance. Mounds of brick debris at Satghara mark the site of a forgotten town, the coins found at Satghara prove that it was inhabited in the time of the Kushan dynasty. The name of this town "Satghara" is commonly believed to drive its name from words (Saat or Seven) (Ghara or pitchers) or seven ghars seven homes. Another sound historical folklore is narrated that some injured soldiers of Alexandar the Great (belonging to ancient town of Stageira of Macedonia) resided their and they named this ancient town as Stageira now corrupted as Satghara.
