NEW DELHI: The seven-member committee set up by the Union culture ministry to locate the exact burial site of Mughal Prince Dara Shikoh is likely to submit its report soon. The members of the panel will sit and brainstorm one more time to reach a conclusion on December 24.
Maharajah had decided it was the religious duty of Sikhs in the area to get up early morning to awaken all Muslims for prayers.
Few historic monuments in the Walled City have as colourful a history as the one at the corner of the junction where Kasaira Bazaar meets Kucha Chabakswaran, just off Kashmiri Bazaar. It is a beautiful mosque built at a slight height.
Now this mosque has curiously-shaped bulbous domes coated with real gold leaf and its architecture is a mix of local traditions. As it has no definite architectural style to label it, the experts, some very reputable ones, do not approve of it. Others find it exciting and a reflection of Lahore’s open and liberal tradition. Like Amritsar’s Golden Temple, this mosque is Lahore’s Golden Mosque, better known as ‘Sunehri Masjid’.
