Krishna Mandir, Lahore

The Krishna Mandir is a Hindu temple (mandir) dedicated to the Hindu deity Krishna located in Ravi Road, opposite of Timber Market in Lahore, Punjab, Pakistan. It is an important place for Hindu people living in the area. In 2006, there were worries when some news reports said the temple might be torn down, but these reports were later found to be wrong. Today, Krishna Mandir is one of only two working Hindu temples in Lahore, the other being Valmiki Mandir. It shows how different cultures and religions can share a city and still keep their traditions alive.
