Lahore looks so cool and serene.
Thanks Mr Shiraz Hassan, keep it up.
Its pictures like these that provide us with the marvels of historic Lahore. Thanks Shiraz Hassan
Its a masterpiece photograph. Lahore looking bindas in this pre-partition photo. notice the dressing of people, it is the same dhoti-kurta and pagdi which is traditional dressing of people in the whole of the north-west India. It is in itself an evidence of common culture in the north-west part of the sub-continent. by the way its a superb historical document.
I think the picture in the right side indicates a Hindu. Because of his style of dress.
