Heeramandi, a historically rich district in Lahore, Pakistan, unfolds against the backdrop of India’s struggle for independence from British colonial rule. The Netflix series “Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar,” directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali, portrays this milieu.

The district was renowned for its courtesan culture during the Mughal period. Tawaifs (courtesans) inhabited Heeramandi, skilled in arts like music, dance, poetry, and conversation. They were economically independent and socially influential figures. The market, initially named “Hira Singh Di Mandi,” transformed into “Heera Mandi.”

Positioned between Taxali Gate and the southern vicinity of the Badshahi Mosque, Heeramandi maintained its reputation as a cultural hub until British rule took hold. Today, it is specifically known as the red-light district of Lahore. The area’s history and cultural significance make it notable.
