Mosques of Lahore

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Mosques of Lahore: There are a large number of new, old, and ancient mosques in the city of Lahore, Pakistan. This is consistent with the general personality of the city, which has a culture that mixes the old and the new with superb ease.

On a normal day in Lahore, you may see the latest four wheel drive SUV with a five thousand year old two wheel drive bull cart (reminiscent of the prehistoric civilisations of Mohenjo-daro and Harappa) travelling next to it. And neither would seem to notice the other or find anything strange about this free mixing of centuries and millennia.
