The term "Sargodha" has its origin in the words "Sar" (from "sarowar") meaning "pond" and "Godha" meaning "Sadhu", which means "Pond of Godha". This city was founded by Lady Trooper by the supervision of Sir Charles Montgomery Rivaz KCSI (1845 – 7 October 1926), a colonial administrator in British India and Lieutenant-Governor of the Punjab from 1902 to 1907.
Old temple in Sar Ghodha, every step was donated by the followers, steps named by.
Main temple now converted into water tank and residency, now a new building of Imam Bargha have joined the walls.

A very interesting building, minarets have church architectural design elements where the top Sikh sign of Khanda, rust after golden glory now narrating Sikhism epics, typical colonial windows have centre arches. Now the building is a school.
After the Royal Stratigic Airbase during British rule in India, the city of Sar Ghoda was established as a trade city where the grid was based as town planning, residency areas have gates.
Definitely it couldn't be like this but I'm surprised how an old temp converted into water tank, serving to Imam Barigha.
