Gurdwara Lal Khoohi (The Bloody Well), alternatively Gurdwara Lal Khooh or Lal Khoo, literally Gurdwara Well of Blood was a historical Gurdwara located near Mochi Gate in Lahore, Pakistan.[1][2]

It was built at the site where the fifth Sikh Guru, Guru Arjan Dev, was incarcerated during the reign of the Mughal Emperor, Jehangir.[3][4][5]
It has since been converted[6] into a Muslim shrine, Haq Char Yaar,[7] in reference to the first four caliphs in Islam.[8] In 2007, Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee condemned this act by muslims.[9]
