Lahore Delhi Gate


Lahore the heart of mughal architecture has always been the center of attention of all the great mughal leaders and took steps for preserving, maintaining and protecting their dear city and excellent work done. Lahore therefore, is packed inside the boundaries of thirteen gates for defenses and security. Delhi gate is one of them which is one of the entrance into the city facing Delhi in India. It is a huge gate with thick walls but thin bricks giving the touch of elegance to it. Inside the gate is a huge market with very narrow streets, lacking proper management which therefore gives a very untidy look to the market. the gate is not maintained and is in the worst situation possible due to the dirty surroundings and electric wires and transport etcetera. But still, it is the most beautiful ancient gate standing and showing the identity of Lahore and how well-built it is; that it has existed even in these disgraceful conditions and is still the same as it was years and years ago.
