Mochi Gate is also known for ancient Mosque of Muhammad Saleh Kamboh, teacher of Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb.According to a legend it is named after Moti, a guard of the gate during the Mughal era, who guarded and looked after the gate all his life. The most likely origin of its name, however, seems to be from the word Morchi, which means trench soldier. The Governors Piada units were stationed here during the pre-Mughal dynasty rule. This is further borne by the fact that the different streets (Mohallas) which still bear their old names are the Mohalla Teer-garan (arrow craftsmen), Mohalla Kaman-garan (bow craftsmen). The bazaar around the Mochi gate is renowned for its shops of Dried fruit, kites and fireworks Further inside is the some are a masterpiece depicting the architecture of their times. Mubarak Haveli, Nisar Haveli and Laal Haveli are, but a few examples. A Kebab Shop (Saeein Kabab wala), a sweet mart (Fazal Sweets and Rafiq Sweets) and an Old Khoo (water well)(Lal Khoo) are some of the well known features of Mohalla Shia. In front of the Laal Haveli is the Mochi Baagh. This, until recently, was a lush green patch with shady trees, it is barren now due to its landscaping to become a speakers corner in the light of its history of it having numerous renowned political leaders addressing the crowds at this place. Now this garden (baagh) is used for wedding ceremonies by locals and for playing cricket by the local boys.Mochi Baagh/Garden is Pakistans most famous political rally spot. Mochi Baagh is located on the immediate right of Mochi Gate. Many renowned political leaders of Pakistan and the pre-independence era have delivered speeches here.Currently, Mochi Baagh has been spoiled by the right half of it being encroached upon by heavy duty truck drivers using it as a parking stand in violation of public area laws.In March 2007, the PHA (Parks and Horticultural Authority) announced that maintenance works would be carried out in Mochi Baagh. Works proposed include the construction of a 27x33 (feet) stage, maintenance of stairs around the park, setting up of fountains, jogging tracks, the installation of benches and lights and the planting of grass.
Its a crowded historic place; one of the gates of Old Lahore unfortunately not mainted. Opposite to mochi gate, on walking distance is famous Shab bhar mosque. At main gate there are shops for dry fruits and famous Rafiq sweets. At 10 minutes walk through narrow street having toy shops, are famous Wazir Khan mosque and Khalifa Bakers.
Its a great historical place for political movements specially in past.

Nice bazar very crowd
Its always feel good when I visit our old city areas but now very congested rude people and narrow minded things coming out
Calinic plus wandala road
The traffic needs to be managed. The place isnt that good that there is traffic jam every single day of the whole year there. The traffic police doesnt do anything to improve it. The drivers also know that and so they dont follow any rules. People just park their cars wherever they want and that leads to massive traffic jams.
Beautiful environment ️
Famous and historical place...
DRY FRUIT VARIETY IN DISCOUNT RATE, BUT VERY CROWDED AREA, DONT GO WITH FAMILY
Its Whole Sale Market and one of the oldest place in Lahore
A huge rush,traffic, dry fruits market PS rangmahll is here

Toys and sweet markeet
Bought sweets from Rafique bakers and crackers from there.
Best place to find cheap toys... The whole street is filled with toys and accessories ranging from cheapest imports to high level toys and all in very reasonable prices.. most of the shops are importers themselves or manufacturers.
We have enjoyed
Walled city life is adorable
The real walled city area as found in Mughal era some of the streets and house are perfectly in their original condition but some are modified and renovated with time but the speciality is narrow streets even two persons can walk through hardly...now the special places about eating is ...Saeen kabab House.Rafique Sweet house.And many more.
Great holy place
Too much noise their?!!!
Its historical area of lahore. Mochi gate
Old Lahore with historic buildings
On of oldest gate
Best place for toys shopping
Old is gold... but gold also fades out its shine if not taken care of. Old Lahore is really a great place to visit but conditions are not that good on terms of maintenance, roads infrastructure, traffic control, congested environment and lawlessness in terms of street vendors and road side sellers .. more govt control is required to preserve true beauty of Lahore.
Amazing place , stunning experience in life
