LAHORE: Historic monuments at Lahore Fort, the Sikh-era Hammam, the Athdara Pavilion, and the Loh Temple, were officially inaugurated following extensive conservation work funded by the U.S. Ambassadors Fund for Cultural Preservation (AFCP). The restoration was carried out by Aga Khan Cultural Service – Pakistan (AKCS-P) in partnership with the Walled City of Lahore Authority (WCLA). The unveiling is part of a broader initiative, “Preservation and Promotion of Cross-Cultural Edifices of Lahore Fort,” which aims to safeguard and celebrate the Fort’s rich heritage. Previously, two other historic sites, the Sikh-era Tempe and the Imperial Zenana Mosque, were restored under the same program. Together, these projects cover seven key monuments within the Fort, reflecting its layered history of Mughal, Sikh, Hindu, and British influences. DNA
