All
about Delhi Gate |
The Delhi Gate is located
within Walled City of Lahore in Lahore, Punjab,
Pakistan. Delhi Gate was built during the Mughal
period and is one of thirteen gates of the Inner
City. The area near the gate is a historical place,
in which a number of old buildings, havelis and
markets are located. The Wazir Khan Mosque can be
accessed from this gate.
'Old' Delhi, the capital of Muslim India between
the mid-17th and late 19th centuries, is full of
formidable mosques, monuments and forts. The ancient
Delhi of the Mughal emperors was surrounded by a
wall and was a congested city of narrow bylanes.
Though better known as Old Delhi, this area is also
called Delhi. Old Delhi , Shah Jahan's seventeenth-century
capital ( Shahjahanabad ), lies 2km or so further
north.The Delhi Jn rly stn is in Old Delhi, the
inter-state bus terminus is slightly to the north,
at the Kashmiri Gate. Buses go to all over north
and west India from the Kashmiri Gate. Near the
Delhi Gate lies the Yamuna on the left and the Aruna
Asaf Ali Rd on the right, ending at Ramlila Pavilion,
the juncture of Old and New Delhi.
It's a lively area of colourful bazaars, narrow
streets and barely controlled chaos. Monuments
in sandstone and marble, which stand in assorted
states of repair, make Delhi a veritable museum
of Indo-Islamic architecture, seen at its best
in the frenetic streets of Old Delhi. Old Delhi
looks entirely different from the more modern
New Delhi and south Delhi areas.

The Delhi Gate
is a southern gateway to the Red Fort. It
was build by Shahjahan between 1639-48. It
was built of random rubble and stone. The
gate was used by the emperor when he proceeded
towards the Jama Masjid for the prayer. It
is one of the important gates of the Red Fort.
It is simple in design and made of locally
available stone. Two large elephants adjacent
to the gate can be seen. The Ajmeri Gate is
one of the gates of the city Shahjahanabad.
