Abstract
Ἁlamgīrī gate is of great importance in the historical gates of Lahore. The Ἁlamgīrī gate played an important role in the struggle of the Sikhs for the ‘throne’ of Lahore. Its image is notable on fifty rupee note of Pakistani currency. Currently, Ἁlamgīrī gate is closed and Shāh Burj gate is being used for the entrance to the fort while Mastī gate is permanently closed. Ἁlamgīrī gate was bricked up during the British period and remained close for security. In 1949 it was reopened by the Governor of the Punjab, Sardar Abdul Rab Nishtar and began a new historical epoch.1 It symbolizes a beautiful and historic gate way to Lahore’s past.
