Hey it's #AvianAugust ! Which means- Please look at this Lahore. Her name is Pelusa (Dust Bunny) : )
Nanak was born in Nankana Sahib near Lahore. His father was the local tax collector for the village. There are many accounts which tell of Nanak’s early spiritual awakening. He was said to be a precocious child with particular insights into religious teachings and philosophy.
On this day (27 Feb, 1712), at the age of 68, Emperor Bahadur Shah died at Lahore.
In my opinion, he was the last great Mughal, who like his ancestors, spent majority of his reign accustomed to a mobile tent life, gaining victory after victory in the military & political field.
