It is located in the northwestern corner of the Walled City of Lahore. The trapezoidal composition is spread over 20 hectares.

Thus the fort manifests the rich traditions of the entire Mughal architecture. Some of the famous sites inside the fort include: Sheesh Mahal, Alamgiri Gate, Naulakha pavilion, and Moti Masjid. In 1981, the fort was inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site along with the Shalimar Gardens (Lahore).

Shahi Qilla as seen from the footsteps of the Badshahi Mosque
The city of Lahore has been seat of every successive government in India and specially the Punjab. Therefore one comes across a plentiful of structures and monuments that dot the landscape of Lahore. But two specimens of Mogul architecture cannot escape the eye of anyone entering Lahore from Rawalpindi on the Grand Trunk Road; the Badshahi Mosque and the Shahi QIlla or the Royal Fort.
The fort was initially constructed in 1566 AD by the Mughal Emperor Akbar, on the ruins of a mud fort which existed as early as 1021 AD. The Fort is rectangular and is located in the north western corner of Lahore, adjacent to the Walled City. It has 13 gates. The main gates are located alongside the centre of the western and eastern walls. Located centrally in the city of Lahore, the Lahore Fort is a magnificent fortified palace complex. Its elaborate Mughal architecture is straight out of a storybook of the Mysterious East. The impressive twin-domed entrance leads into elaborately decorated courtyards and pavilions with water features, some with still intact sumptuous wall decorations of inlaid semiprecious stones and painted designs. It's large enough to allow several elephants carrying members of the royal family to enter at one time. There are a flight of stone steps specially built for ceremonial elephant processions.

Shalimar Gardens in Lahore Pakistan, constructed in 1641 A.D. by the aristocratic Mughal emperor Shah Jahan, is the epitome of Mughal garden design, incorporating the paradisiacal chahar bagh, water channels, waterfalls and tanks ornamented by fountains, along with terracing and beautiful pavilions, creating a world of its own within its lofty enclosing walls. Covering 80 acres, it was primarily to provide accommodation when the emperor was on tour in Lahore, and as a place of recreation for the royal family. The Gardens have been laid out from south to north in three descending terraces. To irrigate the Gardens, a canal was brought from a distance of over 161 kilometers. The gardens are decorated with a total of 410 fountains in red sandstone and marble. In 1981, Shalimar Gardens was included as UNESCO World Heritage Site .

We could try to fathom the reasons and the factors that led this man to this condition... I stood there for half an hour and he didn't budge... we could think about the time when he was a child, a little boy, a young man... the hopes and aspirations of his family and his own....
But then the easiest thing to do is to label him a junkie or a druggie and walk on... I have time to take the picture not to ponder on the subjects !
