The image transports us back in time, offering a glimpse into the rich history and architectural splendor of this iconic Asian city. The Lahori Gate, also known as the "Delhi Gate," is a significant historical landmark that once served as the main entrance to the walled city of Shahjahanabad, established by the Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan in 1639.
