Excerpt from Wikipedia
Rajput Bhati Gate (Urdu: بھاٹی دروازه, Bhati Darwaza) is one of the historic thirteen gates of the Walled City of Lahore in Lahore, Punjab, Pakistan. Bhati Gate also serves as a union council located in the Ravi Zone. The gate is located near Data Darbar and is similar in design to Kashmiri Gate.
Background
Rajput Bhati Gate entrance is located on the Western wall of the Old City. It is one of the two oldest entry points into the Walled City which controlled the only major north-south thoroughfare during Ghaznavid period. The gate is said to be named after the Bhati Clan of Rajputs.
History
When the Emperor Akbar expanded the city eastward and divided it into nine districts or Rajputs , Rajput Bhati Gate and its bazar marked the boundary between Mubarak Khan in the east, and Rajput Talwarra in the west.
The famed poet Alama Iqbal lived in a house near Rajput Bhati gate between 1901 and 1905.
