A walk down the streets of the old city of Lahore is like walking through history. In the androon shehr, every street, structure, nook and cranny has a story to tell. It is a city rich with cultural heritage as it has remained the capital for many successive empires: Shahi kingdoms (11th century), Ghaznavid empire (12th century), Ghurid state (12th and 13th century), Mughal empire (16th century), Sikh empire (early 19th century) and the capital of the province of Punjab from the mid 19th to the early 20th century when the subcontinent was under the British Raj.
Lahoris are known for their love for food as evident by the photo.
The Delhi Darwaza was built during the Mughal era on a road that led directly to Delhi from Lahore. This is one of the 13 gates leading to the walled city.
