In terms of political significance, it is similar to Tian'anmen Square in China. The National Monument was built during Musharraf's reign. It took two years and cost 580 million rupees, or more than 70 million yuan. The monument is elegant in shape, consisting of four large petals and three small petals. Four large petals symbolize the four provinces of Pakistan: Punjab, Sindh, Baluchistan and the Northwest Frontier Province; three small petals symbolize the three territories of Pakistan: the Northern Territory, the Pakistani Kashmir Region and the Federally Administered Tribal Region. A small pentagonal steeple lies directly ahead. Seen from the top, the crescent shaped by seven petals, surrounded by the star shape of the steeple, is the star and moon symbol of the Pakistani flag. There are reliefs on the petals. They are mainly carved with the customs and monuments of various parts of Pakistan, the father of the country Jennah, the national poet Iqbal and so on.
