Haveli Barood Khana — Attraction in Lahore City Tehsil

Haveli Barood Khana is located in the Bazaar Barood Khana. It was built around 250 years ago, in the Sikh era, in order to store gun powder, weapons and ammunation. Mian Amiruddin, the first Muslim Lord Mayor of Lahore, bought it in 1870. The mansion has stayed in this family ever-since and different generations have built different sections of it. Literary and political luminaries of yesteryears like Iqbal, Jinnah, Sir Syed, Hali, Faiz, M.Aslam and Sheikh Abdullah visited this haveli regularly. Currently, it is owned by the grandson of the national poet Allama Iqbal, Mian Yousaf Sallahudin. Mian Salli has done a marvelous job of historical conservation of this wonderful building. The room I loved the most was the baithak set in the basement. He has decorated it with wonderful memorabilia, priceless photographs and paintings. What impressed me most was his open heartedness in sharing his legacy with everyone. He invites strangers to visit his home, hosts dinners and lunches for foreign guests, lends the mansion to film and drama companies and even produces a musical show here called Virsa.

This is a heritage property set in the heart of the famous Old City of Lahore, Pakistan.

We had our wedding shoot at this place. All in all this place is a beauty with a touch of antiquity with plenty of spots for capturing memorable moments for a lifetime. Price for the place is quite high 30000pkr comparing it to other wedding shoot spots as it does not pack any particularity except a lil bit of privacy unlike in Lahore fort costing 25000pkr which is much better in it's own way. You can commute to this place with the help of google maps. Entrance is wheelchair accessible. I must mention that the care taker is very irritating as he constantly restricts you to going to different spots in the haveli although you already had paid for the...
