Lava Temple is a Hindu place of worship dedicated to the Hindu deity Lava, the son of Rama. It is in Lahore Fort, Lahore, Pakistan, and dates to the Sikh period. According to a Hindu legend, Lahore is named after him.EtymologyIn the Deshwa Bhaga, Lahore is called Lavpor, which points to its origin from Lav, the son of Rama,. In the ancient annals of Rajputana the name given is Loh Kot, meaning “the fort of Loh” which, again, has reference to its founder,Ramas son.HistoryA legend based on oral traditions holds that Lahore, known in ancient times as Lavapuri (City of Lava in Sanskrit), was founded by Prince Lava, the son of Sita and Rama. Kasur was founded by his twin brother Prince Kusha.Temple of Loh in LahoreTo this day, Lahore Fort has a vacant temple dedicated to Lava (also pronounced Loh, hence Loh-awar or The Fort of Loh).The oldest authentic document about Lahore was written anonymously in 982. It is called Hudud-i-Alam (The Regions of the World). In 1927 it was translated into English by Vladimir Fedorovich Minorsky and published in Lahore. In this document, Lahore is referred to as a small shehr (city) with impressive temples, large markets and huge orchards. It refers to two major markets around which dwellings exist, and it mentions the mud walls that enclose these two dwellings to make it one. The original document is currently held in the British Museum.Lahore was called by different names throughout history. To date there is no conclusive evidence as to when it was founded. Some historians trace the history of the city as far back as 4000 years ago. However, historically, it has been proved that Lahore is at least 2,000 years old. Lying on the main trade and invasion routes to South Asia, Lahore has been ruled and plundered by a number of dynasties and hordes.Source: Wikipedia

According to Hindu Mythology, the name of Lahore city is attributed to Lava the son of the Great Hindu God Rama Chandra who is the founder of Lahore city & Lahore Fort. It is situated inside the Alamgiri Gate of Lahore Fort and very near to Royal Kitchens. It is a very interesting temple and mostly people dont know about this hidden treasure of Lahore Fort. It is our best try to introduce interesting places to the people. For any information you can open Alamgiri Gate and ask any question related to history & tourism
