Heera Mandi (Urdu and Punjabi: ہیرا منڈی; meaning "#Diamond Market"), sometimes referred to as #Shahi Mohallah ("Royal Neighbourhood"), is a neighbourhood and #bazaar, specifically known as #redlight district of #Lahore.
It is located inside the #Walled City of Lahore, near the #Taxali Gate, and south of the #Badshahi #Mosque. The market had #historically been the centre of the city's refined #tawaif culture since the 15th and 16th centuries.
The market was originally the centre of the city's #tawaif (concubine) culture for the #Lahore's Mughal era elite during the 15th and 16th centuries. The neighborhood became a center for #mujra - a sensual South Asian dance style that required years of practice to perfect.
The brothel houses were first developed by the British in old #Anarkali Bazaar for the recreation of the British soldiers during the British Raj. After that these were shifted to Lohari Gate and then to Taxali Gate. After 1947, many governments have made efforts to increase amenities for customers of #prostitution at the Heera Mandi area of Lahore but have failed.
During the Zia era, an operation was conducted against music and dance houses, which were alleged to be dens of prostitution. The operation served to spread the practice throughout the city. In recent times, the area has become known for prostitution again, though the practice in the neighborhood is in decline with the rise of online escort services.
During the day, Heera Mandi is much like any other #Pakistani bazaars and is known for its good food, wide range of #Khussa (traditional Mughal footwear) and shops for #musical instruments. At night, the brothels above the shops open. The place is also considered as a symbol for the city of Lahore and sometimes the words 'Heera Mandi' themselves are considered to be offensive in formal talks.
Under the British colonial rule, it became a big hub of prostitution. Within the market, women and #khusra (transgenders) offered traditional and classical dances. From the British colonial period till past few years, it remained a centre of prostitution in Lahore. Many Hijras, members of Pakistan's transgender community, frequent the area and are involved in the area's dance culture.
