Inside the gate, there is a market known as Lohari Mandi or Lohari Market which is one of the oldest markets of South Asia. This gate has its historical significance and still tells many stories about its origin and historical traces. Lohari Gate Lahore, Pakistan.
Bhaati Gate is located within the Walled City of Lahore. This gate is one of the two oldest entry points into the Walled City and was the only major access during Ghaznavid era. When the Walled City was expanded and divided into nine ‘Guzars’ (pathways) by Mughal Emperor Akbar, Bhaati gate marked the boundary between east and west ‘Guzars’ known as ‘Guzar Mubarak Khan’ and ‘Guzar Talwarra’ respectively. According to some historians, this gate has been named after the Bhaatis, an ancient Rajput tribe, who inhabited these quarters in old times.
