hey everyone. I hope you all are doing. This is I am here again with a new phone. If you have seen my previous post you can know that I have posted about sheesh Mahal. And this time I am posting about Lahore fort. The symbol of royalty and the beautiful architect of Mughal empire. I visited on show time and short notice so I have not so much picture but my best hours here.
Early is be off the port is rowdy inventory and nothing leave definite is known about it. Traditional lady started that Lahore fort was built as early as the city itself. And also it's foundation is attributed to methi loh.
Entrance was so big that as we know Royal families are always symbolised by elephant. Enters was big that an elephant can easily passed it. It was the main purple and also there were a lot of soldiers protecting fort from enemy.
firstly it was bold in 1180 AD. But later it was reboot by emperor balbon. It was built by Akbar third Mughal emperor in 1566. I have enough information about it because I love to explore history and love specially the history of Royal families of our past.
Lahore fort is the only place in Pakistan which represent the different phase in the development of Mughal architecture. It achieved prominence during the reason of emperor Akbar. Afterwards his success Jahangir shah Jahan and Aurangzeb added new building.
If you know about sheesh Mahal moti masjid, akbari asgari, deewane khas aur deewane aam. This what you welding which were not before. But later when the new rulers came they build do building.
It was in scribe as UNESCO world heritage site in 1981. There are many myths about Lahore fort. Many peoples are there is a cave which is underground and leads to the Delhi Lal Kila. We don't know what is the main story about it but I just know about this.
Many places in Lahore fort are close. We were closed because they think that the building are so much in poor conditions that they may be broken anytime. But I guess you are from many many years ago and still existing. I guess they have special research.
Walled city of Lahore is working on it. They have rebuilt many buildings like moti masjid. But this places are only opened on weekend Saturday because there is a special function on Saturday which lead a special performance. And I guess they shows these places in that special enterance.
It was constructed in such a way that it is airy from everywhere. There are lot of ventilation that shows the mind and intelligence of that era. When there was no AC and no fans even there was no electricity. They made this building to avoid hardness of summer.
At this place some people are always standing wearing the cloth of that era. And they get charge to make pictures and videos with them and it treat us like we are royals and they are over soldiers.
I always wants to explore Lahore fort in a long time. But always there became an emergency that I have to go this time the emergency was the weather. When we entered it was so much hot. But now it was turning into rainy season.
Every building has its own significance. There were many statues which shows the royalty. Specially the Statue of elephants. There were a lot of statues of elephant which were made on the top of building. And these were putting the whole roof on their head.
This was the museum which was constructed in late century to save the history. There is a Taj Mahal made by the teeth of elephants and many pictures and also a lot of coins. And also there were many sword.
Again it was a mysterious underground cave. It came to know that there is a lot of basements under the Lahore fort. Specially many mahals are in basement. Because they were very safety in that era and they built mysterious places to hide there jewellery and precious thing.
The building are called deewane khas and deewane aam. These are called so because they were the places where they royal family make decisions. And the kings are Queens attract to the local people to hear their problem.
These were the costume and they were getting paid to wear it and make video. If you ever visit here you have to avoid from cameraman. Because they only said that one picture is for 60 rupees but when they started to capture they make their bills in 1000 so you always care about.
This is the place where the king or Queens sit at that time to meet local people. You can see it was made at height so it shows the royalty that they were on top and the local people were low than them.
Again a mysterious place and I don't want to go there because it was looking so horror. And I was with my younger brother so I don't take any risk. And I moved from there.
Suddenly the weather change and it was now started to raining. And here was a strange thing. The place where we were standing it was raining so low and the other place where we have to go it was raining so high.
It is also known as the barood khana. Which is still closed and I don't know when it will be opened and I can see the whole fort without any restriction and I can explore more.
It was my whol journey and I hope you will like it. If you really like you don't forget to give me a proper feedback in comment section. Allah Hafiz. Take care.
Thanks for watching 🙂💕 Keep smiling 😊 💕
