The sign pictured above is not the kind that a tourist ever expects to see in a “summer palace”!
At the time, technically speaking, our presence was “illegal”; this location was strictly “off-limits”.
After centuries of neglect and decay, this summer palace – a deal of which had sat, “invisibly”, within a huge fort’s external wall – was undergoing a sometimes-hazardous process of meticulous restoration…and “rediscovery”.
The sign was a hazardous site’s warning to its workers.

This post’s “bird men” are not selling birds to “benevolent” customers; in this case the feathered captives have zero chance of being freed.
These “bird men” are in the tourism/entertainment business.
In every sense, Lahore Fort is the “big one” among the walled city’s architectural/artistic gems.
It sprawls across 20 hectares; one of its various “Mughal heritage treasures” is the world’s biggest picture wall/mural.
Inevitably, a few non-heritage, merely-opportunistic “attractions” have inserted themselves into this UNESCO World Heritage Site.
