Hindu Heritage of the Land of Five Rivers
Punjab has a long Hindu heritage, and some of its most important sites can still be visited. The Punjab Hindu Temples tour begins in Lahore at the Krishna Mandir and the Valmiki Mandir, both active places of worship, and continues into the Salt Range to the sacred pond of Katas Raj.
We also visit Tilla Jogian, a hilltop once home to the Nath yogis, and travel south to Multan, one of the oldest cities in South Asia, where the ruins of the Prahladpuri temple are linked by tradition to the devotee Prahlad and the story of Holi.
