1. Lahore Authority said, all work in the conservation of the Temple has been completed. Along with the Temple, two other monuments – the Sikh-era Hammam and Ath Dara Pavilion of Maharaja Ranjit Singh, have been fully restored and opened for the public in Lahore.

2. “The restoration initiative aims to celebrate Lahore Fort’s rich cross-cultural heritage, reflected in its Sikh and Hindu temples, Mughal mosques and structures from the British period,” WCLA spokesperson Tania Qureshi said and added extensive techniques have been employed as a part of the conservation process.

3. Last year, a Sikh researcher Dr Tarunjit Singh Butalia, identified some 100 monuments at the Lahore Fort maintained during the Sikh era (1799-1849), detailing its historical significance. Of them, around 30 monuments do not exist today.

What is Loh Temple?

The Loh Temple comprises a cluster of interconnected chambers located within the Lahore Fort. Loh Temple is an open-to-sky space housing a memorial shrine. It was partially restored in 2018.

Editorial Perspective

The Muslims of both India and Pakistan have not accepted the building in Ayodhya the Temple of Prabhu Shriram, who is Loh’s (Lava’s) father. Hence no one should be surprised if there is an attack on Loh’s Temple.
