After visiting a Lord Shiva temple at Ramkot Fort in episode 1, we then go out to the dried up part of the Mangla Dam to discover another Lord Shiva Temple that's sunken underwater most of the year.

Amazingly, even though being underwater for around 60 years, the temple is still standing tall. You can see it from miles away in winter when the water level of the dam is low. Or when the water level is high, you can see the top coming out of the water.

Mirpur has a fascinating recent history. It is now known as New Mirpur City after the construction of the Mangla Dam in the 1960s. “Old” Mirpur is now submerged inside the dam and can be visited when the water level is low.

Those who lost their land during this time were given the opportunity to live and work in England. England at the time had a labour shortage. Now the largest population of Pakistanis in England are Mirpuris! An estimated 700,000 Mirpuris live in England – hence Mirpur’s second name, “Little England.”
