Lohari Gate I First Chakla (Red Light Area) of Lahore I The Wonder of Walled City I Gilani Logs

Lohari Gate: The House Of The Ironsmiths Of Lahore by Tania Qureshi
The Walled City of Lahore is a unique piece of land having matchless characteristics and panoramas that take away your breath and hold you mind for hours and hours. Anyone going into the city can never be bored because every turn, narrow street, chowk and a mohallah has its own story to tell and a marvellous setting. Walled City of Lahore, no doubt among the oldest settlements, is a cosmos of monuments, havelis, cuisines, bazaars, culture and traditions and all these features make it a living heritage museum.
The name Lohari Gate sounds interesting and you must be thinking why it was named so? Like the case with most of the gates of the city of Lahore, myths are also associated with its name and historians have written different accounts about it. Some say that it was named Lahori because it faced the Ichhra or the original Hindu Lahore called Ichhra Lahore or Lohawar which was named after a Hindu God. Another account states that the gate was named so because of the blacksmiths and ironsmiths living in the area and thus it got popular as Lohari as the blacksmiths and the ironsmiths known as “Lohars” had their smithies inside the streets of this gate. To me, the second account seems more powerful because we still see ironsmiths inside this gate and Chowk Jhanda is still known for metal and iron workers.
I came across another view about this gate which states that somewhere in the 11th century, this city was badly affected by the wars between Mahmud of Ghazna and Raja Jai Pal rather it was all burnt. In 1021, the Sultan gave Malik Ayaz the throne of Lahore. It was at that time when the people started inhabiting this part and since then the gate was called Lahori Gate. It is also said that this was the old fort of Lahore and still the built of the streets gives a feel of the fort. Some historic books state that Lohari Gate is also one of the earliest gates of Lahore which Mahmud of Ghazna built. It is said that initially there were only five entrances to the Walled City and Lohari Gate was one of them.
Lohari Gate is also historically noteworthy because Ranjit Singh conspired with its gatekeeper during his siege of the city and it was secretly opened for him to enter and invade Lahore. There is also an interesting argument on the pronunciation, few call it “Lahori” and some say its “Lohari”, because of these myths. With the passage of time it got famous as Lohari Gate leaving all the myths behind. The marble plaque on the gate is strange too because both the names are engraved on it.
The Lohari Gate that we see now is changed in shape and structure. It is said that all the gates of the city were identical to the old Roshnai Gate near the Samadhi of Maharaja Ranjeet Singh and Badshahi Mosque. While these gates were rebuilt, their structures and designs were changes and that is why the six existing gates of Lahore differ in design and size.
Lohari gate is a giant structure and thank God that it is well intact and retains its majesty till now. This gate like Delhi Gate also has rooms inside its ground and upper portion. There were encroachments in the rooms and the gate’s structure was also derelict. The Walled City of Lahore Authority removed the 40 years old illegal occupation from Lohari Gate in 2016 and also conserved the gate. The rooms were also conserved and one of them has been converted into a Sarangi School (music academy) for the locals and whoever wants to learn the art of playing Sarangi.
Let me tell you an interesting fact which most of the people are unaware about. It is recorded in history that the earliest settlement of the Red Light Area was also inside Lohari Gate and most of the affluent dancing girls had built wonderful Havelis there. This fact is affirmed because the popular Chowk Matti in Lohari Gate was also named after a known dancer “Matti Bai”. With the passage of time, the Red Light area was reallocated to Chowk Jhanda, then Tibbi Gali and finally it settled in the Heera Mandi (which was not initially meant for the dancing girls).
Walking on the mail trail of the Lohari Gate, you will be welcomed by the aroma of tempting foodstuff and that is really mouth-watering. All you want to eat is available there and also it’s hygienically cooked. Haji Sahib Nihari Walay, Sheikh Chatkhara and Sweets, Mehar Bashir Halwae and Hafiz Channay and Jeda Lassi are some of the most famous food spots of the area.
If you have not visited this place then do visit to get the real feel of the Walled City of Lahore and do not miss the Neevin Masjid which is a wonder of the city.

I am 69 years old resident of Rawalpindi and used to visit Lahore after every 6 months, mostly in winter season many decades ago. The purpose of my visit was to stroll in old Lahore and visit historical places during my 3 days trip. I never liked new and modern Lahore..
Very informative and interesting video..
Thanks for sharing
Stay Blessed....
Your feedback is very precious and encouraging for me. I'm also from Rawalpindi but living in Lahore due to my job since last five/six months. Old Lahore is really beautiful and rich in culture.
Thanks for watching my video and commenting on it.
May Allah bless you too.
i am from kashmiri bazar/in uk

Reason for non liking new & old Lahore?
I belong to Lahore and agrees that old is gold
I’m lahorian but didn’t know about this knowledge but very fond of visit these places

You should offer your work to the national TV. Get a team. You can produce and present at the same time. Maybe get a director.
Your work is marvellous.
Thank you very much for your valuable advice but I am very fine where I am. I have the love of viewers like you, what else do I need?
😊😊

Another well researched VLOG.....Congrats. Had this been in Europe this entire area would have been well preserved, neat and clean. Are we true believers in Islam?
Thank you very much. You are right that if this area was in Europe or America, it would be in the best condition, but if we cannot keep ourselves clean, how can we keep our areas safe. It also reflects that we are not true believers of Islam.
اپ کا اندازِ گفتگو اور بیک گراؤنڈ میوزک بہت اعلیٰ۔ ہے
بہت بہت شکریہ
ویڈیو دیکھ کر بہت ہی مزہ ا رہا ہے ماشاء اللہ بہت دلچسپ ویڈیو ہے یہ یہاں کے کھانوں کا بھروسہ نہیں ان کے بارے میں سن سن کر تو دل ہی خراب ہوتا ہے
کھانوں کا تو واقعی کوئی بھروسہ نہیں لیکن کیا کریں کبھی مجبوری بھی ہو جاتی ہے۔

بہت زبردست ویڈیو ویڈیو ہے آپ نے جو جامعہ نظامیہ رضویہ مدرسہ دیکھایا تھا خادم حسین رضوی صاحب اسی مدرسے کے پڑھے ہوئے ہیں اور اسی مدرسے میں پڑھاتے رہے ہیں
زبردست
السلام و علیکم ۔آور یہ بھی بتائیں کہ یہاں باغ تھا جس پر مولویوں نے قبضہ کر کے یہ جامعہ بنا دی۔
مولوی خود ہی پڑھ لیں گے، انہیں بھی پتہ ہے کہ انہوں نے قبضہ کیا ہے
@@zulfiqargilani مگر اس قبضے کے پیچھے ایک کہانی ہے وہ یہ کہانی ہے کہ یہاں اندرون لوہاری گیٹ اسی جگہ جہاں مدرسہ ہے یہاں پر ایک تکیہ ہوتا تھا جہاں بچے تو کم کھیلنے آتے تھے مگر نشی اور جواری زیادہ ہوتے تھے شکر کریں اس جگہ مولویوں نے قبضہ کیا ہے ورنہ یہاں بدمعاشوں اور جواریوں کا قبضہ ہونا تھا چلو اب کوئی اللہ کا نام لینے والا تو ہے
Buhat achha kia molvion ne

بہت ہی خوبصورت ویلاگ میں ابھی کہنے ہی والا تھا کہ اپکو بازار حسن پر ایک وی لاگ بنانا چاہیے کیونکہ میرا خیال ہے بازار حسن درد دل سے بھرے معاشرے کے سب سے مہزب لوگوں کی جگہ ہے باقی گناہگار ہم بھی ان جیسے ہیں وہ گناہگاری کا اعتراف بھی کرتے ہیں اور نادم بھی جبکہ ہم ان سے زیادہ ہی گناہگار ہوتے ہیں جبکہ مشہور شریف ہیں گناہ گار دونو ہیں فرق یہ ہے ہم منافق ہیں وہ منافق نہیں شاید اس تناظر میں وہ ہم سے کمتر ہیں
واہ، کیا خوبصورت بات کہی ہے آپ نے۔ خوش رہیں۔

In Typhoid fever the fever is classically occurs in a step ladder manner. It likely the term "bukh-ar chrh-ta" is used.
Okay, accepted Sir
Thanks for excellent informative documentary! I follow your logs regularly and learn a huge amount about my homeland's history, places and culture. I live in Norway and grew up here, but my heart belongs to Pakistan. My parents are from Lahore. I often forward your links to my children, so that they will learn where their roots come from and how beautiful their history and culture is. Keep up the good work.
I have seen your Norway, it is a beautiful and peaceful country but what is in Pakistan is nowhere else. Glad to hear that you are telling your children about your roots and soil because no matter where we live in the world, our identity is Pakistan.
Thanks a lot for your appreciation, wishes and comment. Stay blessed.
Very well done
