Lahore is the second-largest city of Pakistan and the provincial capital of Punjab. Historically, it is said to be about 2000 years old. In the earliest times, it was a colony of Kangra hill Kingdoms and was a cut-off township on the trade route to Delhi. It had hardly any reputation in the Pre-Muslim era. Lahore came to fame with Islam in South Asia and started being called as the ‘Gardens of the Mughals’ or ‘City of Gardens’, after the significant rich heritage of the Mughal Empire. Lahore has always been a seat of learning and knowledge. Sufism and provisional spirituality became its primary discipline. Schools were opened, and scholars from Baghdad, Iran and other oriental and occidental regions came to this historical city and settled here. Lahore became famous for poetry. The city flourished academically during the four centuries of the Delhi Sultanate. It became the second imperial capital in 1580 under the Mughal Emperor Akbar the Great.
