Andher Nagri of Kala Bagh where sunlight does not reach

The early settlement of Kalabagh city and the narrow bazaar of historical importance is also called ‘Andheri Gulyan’ which has dozens of lanes only two to three feet wide.

Most of the upper and lower houses here are made of wood and mud by Hindus, with their ancient architecture still standing, while some of the decayed latticed doors of the Hindu era are still locked.

A roof has also been put over the streets here. Some of the roofs are so low that the walkers have to walk with their heads down.

It will not be wrong if this place is called Andhernagari, containing about 8000 people, because the sunlight has not reached here till today.

Perhaps the passage of fresh air from here is very difficult, but despite this, life is going on inside them, there are mosques, shrines, madrassas and shops.

Residents here have to turn on the light even in daylight, while historical references say that it was a commercial center as well as a residential area due to the river.

Trade of grain and gold was done here, due to which thieves and robbers used to come and loot here on horses, which people were very afraid and tired of.

It was for this reason that in order to protect these streets from outside horse-riding robbers about two centuries ago, the Hindu Raja Salagar here also roofed them for the safety of the residents.

The roofs were so low and the streets so narrow that no horsemen could enter them, while entrance and exit gates were also installed, and lamps were lit in wall lamps in the streets to dispel the darkness of this period, which can still be seen today. can go.

Before the creation of Pakistan, business was booming in the streets here, Hindus and Muslims used to live together and since then it was called ‘Tang Bazar’.
