| The
institution established as the 'Lahore University College',
in 1869 came to be called by its current name. Designed in the
Muslim-South Asian style of architecture, the red-brick façade
echoes those of the Lahore Museum across the Town hall (now
Jinnah Hall) down, and general post office up, the mall (now
Shahrah-i Quaid-i Azam). |

the proximity of the tomb of a Mughal dancing girl, Anar-Kali,
the building which now houses the Punjab Civil Secretariat,
was said to have been constructed for Kharak Singh, Maharajah
Ranjit Singh's elder son. It was later occupied by the European
adventure, General Jean Baptiste Ventura employed by Ranjit
Singh. For some time Henry Lawrence occupied the building as
the British resident at Lahore. Later the office of the board
of Administration of Punjab was shifted here. From 1871 Ownwards,
it became the Secretariat of the Government of the Punjab. Depicted
here is the wing where the Punjab Legislative Assembly held
its sessions for some time. |

|
|
|
| The
Muslim month of Muharram is commemorated every year with all
the colour and melancholy that the martyrdom of Hussain, younger
grandson of the Holy Prophet (pbuh), has acquired over the centuries,
here a mourning procession weaves its way through the labyrinthine
streets, past the high narrow houses of the Old City. |
