Hindu gallery of Lahore museum please click on this link
Pakistan and India were one country before 1947. When the two countries were divided, a large number Hindus and Muslims had to migrated After the migration of Muslims and Hindus, temples in Muslim areas and mosques in Hindu areas were deserted. The temples in the Pakistani region were left untouched, so many of the relics of these temples are kept in the Lahore Museum to preserve.
Due to the recent conflict between Pakistan and India, tourists from Pakistan and India can’t visit each other’s countries. Can’t do tourism, so today I have tried to show Hindu relics in Lahore Museum to my Hindu friends. These relics have a lot of religious significance for Hindus.
In the subcontinent of Pakistan and India, there were religions that paid homage to them and brought a lot of color to our culture. The artifacts here have been collected from India and Pakistan from the beginning.
In this gallery we can see innumerable artifacts made of stone, wood, cloth and ivory, which not only show us the different religions and sects in the Indian subcontinent, but also shows the local culture. The way of life and civilization of the peopleIs also estimated.
Most of the items in this gallery are from the 2nd century BC to the 7th or 8th century AD, mostly are directly related to religion.Most of the artefacts kept here are statues of Hindu Gods and Goddess.
There are stones on which a lot has been written in very old languages. These writings are also mostly related to religion. These religious scripts are very old written on stone which still can be read after thousands of years
Apart from the Indian subcontinent, there are many other objects in this gallery which are from Burma and Thailand and Nepal brought in british era displayed here.
