Wazir Khan Chowk with the Well of Dina Nath in the background. Despite being dug to a depth of 200 metres in the 19th century, the well has never produced any water but remains a local monument.


Situated approximately half-way through the bazaar was Wazir Khan Mosque.


Dating from 1641 it is considered to be the most ornately decorated Mughal-era mosque.


Inside the courtyard of the mosque with some white linen drying on a neighbouring building.


The mosque was commissioned by Ilam-ud-din Ansari, one of the court physicians to the Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan in Lahore and who was widely known as Wazir Khan.


Colourful prayer mats spread in the courtyard in the midday sun.


The interior of the mosque was covered in ornate and exquisite buon frescoes. The mosque has been on the tentative UNESCO World Heritage list since 1993.


A lady prostrate in prayer.


After the visit to Wazir Khan Mosque we continued our walk through the bazaar.
