Musaman Gate of Lahore Fort
- last year
Emperor Shah Jahan built Musaman for entering the Lahore Fort and the huge and high steps depict that these were also the elephant stairs and the Mughal entourage on elephants would pass through it.
Musaman was once one of the main gates entry points into Lahore Fort but unfortunately with the passage of time it was abandoned and since then it has remained in poor condition. The stairs leading to it crumbled and a few steps vanished. Around the gate piles of debris were seen and most of its parts were lost under huge growth of wild plants.
With the passage of time and for security reasons the Alamgiri Gate was also closed for tourists and a separate ticket counter was made near the Postern Gate of Lahore Fort, which is a British era gate. With the closure of Alamgiri Gate, important structures like Temple of Loh and Musaman Gate and Barood Khana remained neglected. After some time these became the forgotten parts of history and thus most of the people do not know about them.
