Mai Hiran Gate is to Jalandhar what College Street is to Kolkata, the Centre for books of all kinds especially educational.
Although there is no gate existing, the original gate was constructed by the ruler of Kapurthala princely state in the memory of Mai Hiran, a loyal and brave lady of Royal Household Who at the time of the death of Maharaja Jagjit Sigh, brought royal princes to Jalandhar , to save them from any harm.
The localities of Charanjitpura, Bikrampura, Ranjitpura are named after the princes of Kapurthala

May I ask you where you get your info from?
Mai Hiran was in fact the MOTHER of the two Princes who had moved over to Jallandhar from Kapurthala.
NOT at the time of the death of Maharaja Jagjit Sigh.
The Princes moved to Jallandhar at the time of Maharaja Nihal singh!
Many thanks for the correction.
My source was newspaper articles.
