A historic Sikh shrine in Lahore has reopened for religious worship after remaining closed since the 1947 Partition, ending a 79-year hiatus. Gurdwara Chhevin Patshahi Sri Guru Hargobind Sahib, located on Temple Road, was reopened following the completion of restoration work. The ceremony on Sunday followed Sikh religious traditions and was attended by Punjab Minorities Minister and Pakistan Sikh Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee president Ramesh Singh Arora, along with Evacuee Trust Property Board officials and members of the Sikh community. Arora said the shrine was now open for worship and that more than 50 gurdwaras across Pakistan were undergoing renovation. The site is associated with Guru Hargobind’s historic visit to Lahore.
