The Historical Gates of Multan Fort

BOHAR GATE
This Gate faced towards the River Ravi. Once when Multan was a busy river port. This Gate is the main entrance for the food supply and communication. The gate called Bohar because out side this gate there are too many "Bohar" trees. Now with the passage of time the river changed its way and the trees cut down. Now you can see the commercial centers around Bohar Gate.


DELHI GATE
This Gate is named "Dehli" as this faces twoards the Dehli-India and this road leads towards Dehli. During Mughal Period, when ever the Kings or State Guests visits Multan they entered through this gate.


DOULAT GATE
This City Gate is vanished in early days. Only the name is alive & the place where it was to be. It is thought that the Gate called "Doulat Gate", because of the Mazar of "Pir Doulat Shah" which is on the front of the Gate. The Mazar is still there and people come and pay visits. Now due to modernization and enhancements of circular road across the city this "Mazar" comes between the two road & only the tomb area left. The Green Tomb of the Mazar is now between the two busy roads.


HARAM GATE
The Gate used to bring your "Haram" is still there and called Haram Gate.


LOHARI GATE
In urdu "Loha" means Iron. The gate named Lohari because the out side vicinity of this gate many LOHARI lives and they have their workshops there.


DEMOLISHED PAK GATE
This gate named Pak Gate not due to Pakistan, but because of the Saint Hazrat Musa Pak Shaheed. When he died on 33rd Shahban 1010 H, Firstly he was buried in Uch Shareef near his Father Syed Hamid Gunj Buksh. Then when his son saw his Grand Father in Dream Instructing him to get Musa out from his foot side, then he was buried again at "Moza Mungay Hatti". After 15 years his son have another dream who lives in Multan to give Musa back to Multan. Your followers have full faith on you. So, they bring you to Multan. The Gate used to bring your body at that time is still called Pak Gate. 300 feets inside Pak Gate you will find the Mazar of Hazart Musa Pak Shaheed.
