Delhi Gate Lahore

' Delhi Gate '
This gate building is known as Delhi Gate, its location at the eastern side of the city. During 1584-98, when Akbar set Lahore as his capital, the city was expanded towards the east and a new wall and gates of city were built. Delhi Gate stands as the important one among the 12 gates constructed in Akbar's era and is one of the busiest spot of the city. Mughal Emperors generally used this Gate to enter the fort. That is why the expense from Delhi Gate to fort is specified as royal trail. When Ranjit Singh used to pass by this Gate for the sake of Mela Charaghan, this trail used to be adorned with multi colored fabrics and decors.

During the early British rule (1849-1947), the gate building was in much a deteriorated condition that even elephant along with the Palki couldn't enter in. Thus sometime in the 1870s building of the gate was demolished and then reconstructed by the British. The Construction of the gate was done under under the supervision of Muhammad Sultan, a contractor; whose havelli is also existent inside Delhi Gate Bazar. Railway Station built during British Empire was put up outside this Gate. Cities like Jalandar, Amritsar and Delhi are on the side.

The double Storey Building of Delhi Gate was structured with small bricks. After its Reconstruction, the ground floor was used by Police guards. Whereas the upper floor had court of Magistrate on one side and the other one was utilized by the members of Muncipal Comittee for their meetings. In 1990 the Delhi Gate building was conserved and a Government Girl's High school was housed at the upper floor of the gate. Through this Gate, the adorable building of Wazir Khan Mosque, Shahi Hammam and Sunehri Mosque can be approached which have their own historical significance.


Under the program of Walled City 's Preservation and restoration governed by Walled City of Lahore Authority, Delhi Gate has been conserved and rehabilitated by strengthening the building using small bricks and limestone morter. The doors and windows have been repaired. New electric distribution system is established and real look of  the gate has been restored.
