Lahore's Loh Temple Restored, Opened to Public
The Loh Temple in Lahore, Pakistan, has been fixed up and is now open for people to visit.
This temple is special because it is dedicated to Lava, one of Lord Ram's sons.
The temple is part of the old Lahore Fort, which has many important buildings from different times, like the Sikh and Mughal periods.
The people who fixed the temple also worked on two other old buildings nearby.
A long time ago, someone found out that there were about 100 important buildings from the Sikh era in the fort, but some of them are not there anymore.
The temple and other buildings are now ready for everyone to see and learn about their history.
The Loh Temple, dedicated to Lava, son of Lord Ram, has been fully restored and opened to the public in Lahore, Pakistan.
The restoration was carried out by the Walled City Lahore Authority (WCLA) in collaboration with the Aga Khan Cultural Service-Pakistan.
The temple is part of the Lahore Fort, which also includes other restored monuments like the Hammam and Athdara Pavilion of Maharaja Ranjit Singh.
The restoration aims to celebrate the fort's rich cross-cultural heritage, including Sikh and Hindu temples, Mughal mosques, and British-era structures.
A Sikh researcher identified 100 monuments from the Sikh era (1799-1849) at the Lahore Fort, with around 30 no longer existing today.
