Always a pleasure to roam around Delhi gate and truly experience what the real Lahore is. With a vibrant array of street vendors and probably some of the most unique people you’ll come across. There is a mini food square as you go further into Delhi gate but aside from that you can experience almost any kind of Lahori street food and shopping. The beauty of Wazir Khan Mosque is visible from almost anywhere but the only thing to be vary of that around 3pm onwards the area becomes EXTREMELY crowded and congested so if you are fine with that, you’ll definitely enjoy your experience.
Yes place is historical and there are alot of old histories there, reality of lahore according to old era but one thing that irritate me is that really a crude place. Many hustle and bustle is there. The place is not fit for smooth people very very very hustle and bustle place. At least I think that the people should avoid from biking in the market
Delhi Gate (Urdu: دہلی دروازه\u202c\u200e, Delhi Darwaza) is one of six remaining historic gates of the Walled City of Lahore, Pakistan. Delhi Gate and the adjacent Shahi Hammam were restored in 2015 by the Aga Khan Cultural Service Pakistan. The Delhi Gate was originally built during the Mughal period, and is now known as the Chitta Gate, about 100 metres west of the new Delhi Gate. The gate was named after Delhi since the gate opened east, in the general direction of that city.During the Mughal era, the gate served as the main gateway to Lahore, and its doors were shut every evening.The surrounding area includes several buildings of historical significance including the 17th century Wazir Khan Mosque, Shahi Hammam, and havelis. Delhi Gate also served as Union Council 27 (UC 27) in Tehsil Ravi of Lahore City District.The gate is a two-story structure which contains space for ten to twelve shops. The gate's rooftop can be accessed by a staircase.
Historical place to visit . You can see old Lahore culture here . And it's so satisfying. I really love and enjoyed spending time there. I'll always remember this place .
Among the thirteen gates of walled city Lahore, Delhi Gate was the most important of all the gates because the Mughals used it while travelling from Delhi to Lahore Fort. That is why the straight passage leading to Lahore Fort from this gate came to be known as ‘Royal Trail’ or Shahi Guzargah. Now imagine the past glory coupled with this gate, the royal guards standing at the gate, Mughal entourages passing through the streets and people leaning over the balconies and jharokas to take a glimpse of their royals, kings and queens and showering flowers You will find gates to the cities in every walled city in the world. City gates were traditionally built to provide a point of controlled access to and departure from a walled city for people, vehicles, goods and animals. City gates were also used for defence, security, health, trade, taxation, and representation, and were correspondingly staffed by military or municipal authorities. Interestingly, the city gate was commonly used to publicise public information such as announcements, tax and toll schedules, standards of local measures, and messages by the palaces or forts. The public was gathered at a gate and announcements were made there by the courtiers and guards. The gates of a city were heavily fortified, ornamented with shields, sculpture or inscriptions, or used as a location for warning or intimidation. They were also used for displaying the heads of beheaded criminals or public enemies. If we were living in those times, we could have experienced the real sense of a city gate.
