About
About 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 located adjacent to the border of Ganda Singh Wala between Pakistan and India, and is a tourist attraction because of the daily occurring Flags lowering ceremony. Kasur district is surrounded at north by Lahore, at east and south by India, at southern west Depalpur tehsil of Okara district and at northern west Sheikhupura district. Lord Rama's son Kush was believed to be the ruler of a kingdom centered at Kasur in ancient times[1], and the present day Pakistani city still references him in name. His brother Lava is purported to be the founder of Lahore.
