Abstract
Lahore has been known as a crucible of diversified cultures owing
to its nature of being a trade center, as well as being situated on the path
to the capital city Delhi. Both consumers and invaders, played their part
in the acculturation of this city from ancient times to the modern era.This
research paperinvestigates the existing as well as the vanishing popular
culture of the Old-city Lahore. The cuisine, crafts, kites, music, painting
and couture of Lahore advocate the assimilation of varied tastes, patterns
and colours, with dissimilar origins, within the narrow streets of the Oldcity. This document will cover the food, vendors, artisans, artists and the
red-light area, not only according to their locations and existence, butin
terms of cultural relations too.The paper also covers the distinct standing
of Lahore in the South Asia and its popularity among, not only its
inhabitants, but also those who ever visited Lahore.
