Neela Gumbad Lahore: 400-Year-Old Shrine Restored & Parking Plaza Ground Update

Neela Gumbad Lahore is witnessing a remarkable transformation! Discover the restoration of the approximately 350-year-old shrine of Hazrat Pir Syed Abdul Razzaq Makki Sabzwari (R.A.) alongside the massive Neela Gumbad Underground Parking Plaza near Anarkali, Lahore. In this exclusive on-ground documentary vlog, Shehar Nama takes you inside the historic Neela Gumbad site to explore its restored architecture, beautiful blue Kashi-Kari glazed dome tiles, hand-painted fresco artwork, and ongoing heritage restoration. For decades, this historic octagonal Mughal-era architectural landmark remained hidden behind commercial shops and encroachments. Now, the restoration initiative has revealed its original architectural beauty, while affected shops are being relocated to the underground commercial area. The Neela Gumbad Underground Parking Plaza features three basement levels (B1, B2 and B3), with a planned capacity of approximately 374 cars and 790 motorcycles.
