Roshnai Darwaza, or the gate of splendor, counted as one of the gateways of the town. This massive gate lies towards the North in between Badshahi Masjid and Lahore Fort. Akbar reserved this gate for the movement of nobles and aristocracy. Badshahi Masjid and this gate were illuminated in particular by the order of the Emperor. The people came and enjoyed the lighting so this gate became famed as Roshnai Gate.
