Bohar Gate

Gateways to the Old City

Historical Overview

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.
Bohar Gate offers a vivid introduction to the living character of old Multan. Historic urban identity, busy streets, local commerce and everyday community life come together in this gateway district.

 

Bohar Gate formed part of the traditional system of entrances associated with Multan’s historic urban core. Its surrounding area continues to reflect the commercial energy that has long defined the old city. Walk beyond the gateway and experience shops, food, street activity and traditional commercial spaces.
The area provides an excellent opportunity to understand Walled City Multan as living heritage rather than a preserved monument alone.
