INTRODUCTION:
Lahore is the Capital
city of Punjab Province of Pakistan. With the population of approximately 12
Million it is a lively city. The main attraction of the city is its beautiful
Architecture and bustling Bazaars. The tradition of buildings is centuries old
in Lahore but the Moghuls (1500AD to 1800AD) have contributed the most
to it.
According to a legend
Lahore was known in ancient times as Lavapuri ("City of Lava" in
Sanskrit), was founded by Prince Lava or Loh, the son of Rama, the Hindu
deity. To this day, Lahore Fort has a vacant temple dedicated to Lava (also
pronounced Loh, hence Loh-awar or "The Fort of Loh").
Ptolemy, the 2nd-century
Egyptian astronomer mentions in his Geographia a city called Labokla being
somewhere between the Indus River and Palibothra, (Patna). It was described as
extending along the rivers Bidastes or Vitasta (Jhelum), Sandabal or Chandra
Bhaga (Chenab), and Adris or Iravati (Ravi).
The oldest authentic
mention of Lahore appears in Hudud-i-Alam (The Regions of the World) written in
982. In this document, Lahore is mentioned as a shehr or town inhabited
by non-muslims having "impressive temples, large markets and huge
orchards." It refers to "two major markets around which dwellings
exist," and it also mentions "the mud walls that enclose these two
dwellings to make it one."
Although Lahore does not
have an ancient history but Some historians & archeologists trace the
history of the city as far back as 2000 BC. The famous chinese pilgrim
Hieun-tsang has mentioned Lahore in his writings of 7th century.
