Kashmiri Gate, Lahore (Urdu: کشمیری دروازه, Kashmiri Darwaza) is one of the thirteen gates of Walled City of Lahore in Punjab, Pakistan. The gate gets its name as it faces in the direction of Kashmir.[1] Inside there is a shopping area and market that is called "Kashmiri Bazaar", known for inexpensive women's formal dresses, dopattas, clutches and footwear. A girls' college next to Kashmiri Bazaar in Gayan Singh's Haveli, also called Asif Jah's Haveli, is a beautiful example of Mughal architecture.[2]
