Mosques of Lahore
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mosques of Lahore: There are a large number of new, old, and ancient mosques in the city of Lahore, Pakistan. This is consistent with the general personality of the city, which has a culture that mixes the old and the new with superb ease.
On a normal day in Lahore, you may see the latest four wheel drive SUV with a five thousand year old two wheel drive bull cart (reminiscent of the prehistoric civilisations of Mohenjo-daro and Harappa) travelling next to it. And neither would seem to notice the other or find anything strange about this free mixing of centuries and millennia.
This characteristic of Lahore, is probably the one trait that truly defines its unique culture. Here are some of the mosques in Lahore.
 The Badshahi Mosque |
 The Lahori Gate Mosque |
 Masjid-e-Shohdah - Martyrs' Mosque |
 The Jamia Hajveria Mosque |
