Lahore is a city of devotion; to religion, passion and pirs, or holy men. These men have both written and shaped Lahore’s history through the art of the written or spoken word, through their philosophy, and through their preaching.
Fahad Fadi joins us today to give us a special inside look of three of Greater Lahore’s important tombs, allowing us to appreciate both the piety and the beauty of these special and semi-sacred places.

Oh how fantastic, I did temples and pagodas in Asia, will totes add the Tombs as a must see to my travel bucket list now. Very cool! Although, are gals allowed in?
Hmmm that’s a good question – usually there are separate sections for men and women, although these tombs might be mixed as they aren’t strictly religious…
You have mentioned at the beginning that Lahore is a city of devotion; to religion, passion or holy men and I can totally see that in the pictures!
It certainly is! Fahad has really explored some of the hidden gems of Lahore!
