Lahori Gate Mosque

Lahori Gate Mosque
The walled city of Delhi (known as Shahjahanabad) in India was built by Shahjahan, grandson of Akbar, who also built the Taj Mahal in Agra.
Lahori Gate is located on northern wall of Walled city of Delhi in India and led to the road from Delhi to Lahore. Caravans and travellers coming from Lahore and Punjab used to enter the Delhi city from this gate. The walls do not exist now and the Lahori Gate also does not exist. However, the place where it stood is still called Lahori Gate, and area Lahori Bazaar.
A road from Lahori Gate leads to Chandni Chowk, the main bazar of old Delhi and ends at the northern gate of the Red Fort. This gate of the Red Fort is also called Lahore Gate. Later a very wide wall was built in front of Lahore Gate so that the insides of the Red Fort may not be visible to all and sundry from Chandni Chowk. The Prime Minister of India unfurls the national flag at this wall in front of Lahore Gate of Red Fort and delivers his annual address to the nation on the independence day, 15 August.
