Chowk Chakla of Lohari Gate: A Forgotten Chapter in Heera Mandi's Story | Shahab Omer

#shahabomer #heritagechronicles
Did you know that the roots of Lahore’s iconic Heera Mandi stretch back centuries within the Walled City of Lahore? Join us as we journey through Old Lahore, exploring Chowk Chakla, the historic hub where the traditions of courtesans and kothas (entertainment houses) first flourished. Over time, this area became a vibrant cultural district, deeply influenced by the Mughal, Sikh, and British eras, each leaving its mark on the courtesan culture, artistic expression, and social fabric of Lahore.
In this video, we delve into the lives and legacy of the courtesans who called Chowk Chakla home, preserving the classical arts and traditions. From the grandeur of the Mughals, who patronized these art forms, to the Sikh and British periods that transformed these spaces, Chowk Chakla tells a story of resilience, artistry, and Lahore’s cultural identity.
Watch now to rediscover the hidden history of Chowk Chakla, where Lahore’s kotha culture and Heera Mandi's legacy began within the Walled City!
