Badshahi Masjid, Lahore at sunset. About 400 years ago Ravi River flow close to the stairs of the Badshahi Mosque' I wish I could see that phenomenal scene
From Lahore Fort to Data Darbar, streets of Bhati Gate to Anarkali food street; my father made sure that Lahore’s heritage was a major part of my upbringing.
The mosque is said to date from 1659 - 1668-69 and is also known as the Chinianwali Masjid because of the extraordinary mosaic tile work (Kashi Kari) for which the reign of Shah Jahan was famous. It was completed during Aurangzeb's reign.
Naam Japo (Remembrance of God), Kirat Karo (Earn your livelihood by honest means) and Wand Chakko (Sharing with others, helping those who have less or in need) are the three pillars of Sikh faith formalized by Guru Nanak Dev Ji. Guru Nanak opened his eyes in the village of Talwandi on 15th April 1469 in a Hindu family. He laid the foundation of the Sikh religion and became 1st of the 11 Sikh Gurus.
