Katas Raj is around 1000 years old.

Ram Bagh (now Aram Bagh) Karachi is also one of the oldest Hindu pilgrim site in Pakistan.

How old would it be?

Re: Oldest Hindu temple in Pakistan

Its as old as Ramayan. Its believed that Rama and Sita visited this place on their way to Hinglaj (Balochistan - around 250 miles away from Karachi). Higlaj itself remain the old Hindu Pilgrimage (Nani ka Mandir) since centuries

Lahore itself comes from Loh, Loh awar place of Loh Temple. But am not sure about exactly how old it would be.

Lahore is named after Son of Bhagwan Ram, Luva. It has divine providence :)

Re: Oldest Hindu temple in Pakistan

In Northern Pakistan, and even up to Sialkot I believe the remains of Budhism in Punjab and KP are more pronounced and ancient as compared to Hindu temples there.

Learnt another word - farigh

Re: Oldest Hindu temple in Pakistan

farigh means idle, and paidal means “on foot” but it can be used interchangeably with farigh as well.

Oh paidal. As in how we used to go to school. Aaj kal kids need vehicles to transport them for 2 miles.

Got confused when used in this context.
