PAK PATTAN, or the Pure Town, a town of India, in the Punjab, stands on a mound 40 feet high, in the midst of a plain, 5 miles W. of the Ravee, and 98 S.S.W. of Lahore. It derives its name from having been long the residence of a famous Mohammedan saint, whose tomb, a plain edifice in a depression below the general level of the town, is much frequented by pilgrims, both Hindu and Mohammedan. Pak Pattan is believed to be the site of the colossal altars erected by Alexander the Great to mark the limits of his conquests.
