Chowk Yadgar is a historic square in the Walled City of Peshawar, originally constructed in 1892 to commemorate Colonel C. Hastings. Over time, it evolved into a public space featuring Mughal-inspired marble architecture and has served as a central site for public gatherings, memorials, and city life.
