Highlights
  • Kasur - Kasur is a city to the south of Lahore, in the Pakistani province of Punjab. The city serves as the headquarters of Kasur District. Kasur is the 16th largest city in Punjab and 24th largest in Pakistan, by population. It is also known for being the burial place of the 17th-century Sufi-poet Bulleh Shah
  • Darbar Baba Bulleh Shah, Kasur - Sayyid Abdullah Shah Qadri, known popularly as Baba Bulleh Shah and Bulleya, was a 17th and 18th-century Punjabi revolutionary philosopher, reformer and a Sufi poet, universally regarded as the “Father of Punjabi Enlightenment”. He spoke against powerful religious, political and social institutions
  • Shrine of Kamal Chishti - The shrine of Hazrat Baba Shah Kamal ChishtiLulusar is located on Ferozepur Road at the distacne of 4 km from Kasur Railway Station. His shrine stands on the top of an embankment. There is a legend describes about the greate flood destroyed the town, leaving only the shrine of Hazrat Kamal Chisti. He is one of the famous saint among those in sub-continent who had played important role in spreading Islam.
  • Kasur-Ganda Singh Border Crossing - The Pakistani village, which was named after a Sikh man, lies opposite the Indian village of Hussainiwala, which in turn was named after a Muslim. The border crossing is now closed. In the 1960s and 1970s, it was the principal road crossing between India and Pakistan, but was replaced by the border crossing at Wagah, located a little further north.

Since 1970 there has been a daily Retreat Ceremony at the border crossing, similar to the Wagah border ceremony. Attendees are seated in close proximity here, as compared to Wagah where crowds are kept far apart. And unlike the jingoistic display at Wagah which draws nationalistic tourists from all over India and Pakistan, the Hussainiwala ceremony is a more intimate ceremony attended mostly by local Punjabis on either side of the border. As a result, the atmosphere is not as tense, and Indian and Pakistani attendees often smile and wave to one another.

Additional Information

Ganda Singh Border is approximately 60 km from Lahore and 20 km from Kasur City. One of its unique features is that tourists can sit closer compared to the Wahga border, allowing them to see both sides up close and even interact with Indian tourists by waving and talking. Another unique aspect is that tourists can explore Kasur City on their way to the border, enjoying the travel, food, diverse culture, and weather. It’s a healthy activity.

Since 1970, a daily Beating Retreat Border Ceremony has been held at 6 pm at this border crossing, conducted jointly by the military of both nations. This ceremony is similar to the Attari-Wagah border ceremony. Attendees are seated closer together; compared to Wagah, the Hussaini Wala ceremony is more intimate and is mainly attended by local Punjabis from both sides of the border. Consequently, the atmosphere is less tense, and Indian and Pakistani attendees often smile and wave at each other.
