LocationWazir Khan Chowk is located at the main entrance to the Wazir Khan Mosque, and is located approximately 250 metres west of the Delhi Gate. Access to the town square from Delhi Gate is through the smaller Chitta Gate. Structures located in the squareWazir Khan Chowk features the tomb of the Sufi saint Said Soaf, and the Well of Dina Nath. RestorationIn 2012, the Pilot Urban Conservation and Infrastructure Improvement Project—the Shahi Guzargah Project was launched by the Government of Punjab, and the Aga Khan Trust for Culture (AKTC) which restored a section of Shahi Guzargah which included the Wazir Khan Chowk.[1] Prior to completion of the project's first phase, the square had been encroached upon by illegally erected shops which blocked off much of the mosque from the surrounding neighborhood. The first phase of the project removed illegally constructed shops, restoring views of the mosque. Wazir Khan Chowk was extensively rehabilitated by removal of 73 illegally constructed buildings, while the well of Dina Nath was also restored.[2] Power lines along the project corridor were also placed underground. The Chitta Gate at the eastern entrance to Wazir Khan Chowk was rehabilitated.[3] In December 2015, further efforts to restore the site were launched by the AKTC with funding from the Ambassadors Fund for Cultural Preservation - a programme run by the United States Department of State.[4] Under the {{PKRConvert|112}} million plan, the town square will be lowered to the original depth found during the Mughal era in order to fully expose the mosque's original façade.[5] Shopkeepers which have occupied hujras, or cells in the mosque designed for religious study, will also be removed, while two historic homes will also be restored.[6] The project will also include further restoration works to the Dina Nath well, and will also include improved outdoor lighting.[7] The project will restore the square to its original appearance, and is expected to require 18 months for completion.[8] The government of the United States of America has provided $1.1 million of the projects costs.[9] References1. ^{{cite web|last1=Qureshi|first1=Tania|title=Shahi Guzargah" inside the Walled City of Lahore|url=http://www.pakistantoday.com.pk/2015/10/03/features/shahi-guzargah-inside-the-walled-city-of-lahore/|website=Pakistan Today|accessdate=26 August 2016|date=3 October 2015}} {{Lahore}}{{Walled City of Lahore}}{{Cultural heritage sites in Punjab, Pakistan |state=autocollapse}}2. ^{{cite news|title=Wazir Khan Mosque rehabilitation starts|url=https://www.thenews.com.pk/print/83440-Wazir-Khan-Mosque-rehabilitation-starts|accessdate=27 August 2016|agency=The News|date=22 December 2015}} 3. ^{{cite news|last1=Raza|first1=Ali|title=Conservation of Wazir Khan Masjid begins|url=https://www.thenews.com.pk/print/122188-Conservation-of-Wazir-Khan-Masjid-begins|accessdate=26 August 2016|agency=The News|date=24 May 2016}} 4. ^{{cite news|title=Wazir Khan Mosque rehabilitation starts|url=https://www.thenews.com.pk/print/83440-Wazir-Khan-Mosque-rehabilitation-starts|accessdate=27 August 2016|agency=The News|date=22 December 2015}} 5. ^{{cite news|title=Wazir Khan Mosque rehabilitation starts|url=https://www.thenews.com.pk/print/83440-Wazir-Khan-Mosque-rehabilitation-starts|accessdate=27 August 2016|agency=The News|date=22 December 2015}} 6. ^{{cite news|title=Wazir Khan Mosque rehabilitation starts|url=https://www.thenews.com.pk/print/83440-Wazir-Khan-Mosque-rehabilitation-starts|accessdate=27 August 2016|agency=The News|date=22 December 2015}} 7. ^{{cite news|title=Wazir Khan Mosque rehabilitation starts|url=https://www.thenews.com.pk/print/83440-Wazir-Khan-Mosque-rehabilitation-starts|accessdate=27 August 2016|agency=The News|date=22 December 2015}} 8. ^{{cite news|title=Wazir Khan Mosque rehabilitation starts|url=https://www.thenews.com.pk/print/83440-Wazir-Khan-Mosque-rehabilitation-starts|accessdate=27 August 2016|agency=The News|date=22 December 2015}} 9. ^{{cite news|title=U.S. Ambassadors Fund for Cultural Preservation Supports Conservation of Lahore's 17th Century Chowk Wazir Khan|url=http://islamabad.usembassy.gov/pr100215.html|accessdate=27 August 2016|agency=US Embassy (Islamabad)|date=2 October 2015}} 2 : Mughal architecture|Walled City of Lahore |
