Temples in Lahore

Before partition of India in 1947, Lahore was a cosmopolitan city with Hindu, Sikh and Jain residents. There were many temples in Lahore.

In 1941, 48% of the population of Lahore was Hindu, Sikh or Jain [http://www.sacw.net/partition/june2004IshtiaqAhmed.pdf Forced Migration and Ethnic Cleansing in Lahore in 1947, Ishtiaq Ahmed, 2004] . A few hundred Hindus are still reported to be living in Lahore.

None of the temples in Lahore are now in worship.
