Roshnai Gate, City gate in Walled City of Lahore, Pakistan.
The Roshnai Gate stands as an entry point to the Walled City, featuring wide openings and tall walls that accommodate large ceremonial processions.
During the Mughal and Sikh periods, this gate served as the primary entrance for emperors and nobles traveling with their elephant caravans.
The gate links the Hazuri Bagh quadrangle to the Badshahi Mosque and Lahore Fort, forming a central axis of historical monuments.
Travelers can access the gate through multiple pedestrian pathways, with designated parking areas located near the Hazuri Bagh entrance.
The name Roshnai, meaning 'light' in Urdu, comes from the gate's practice of illumination during nighttime to guide travelers entering the city.
