We moved to stay in Model Town , Lahore since one week ago and just today we've got a chance to visit Old Lahore and Data Darbar the famous tomb in Lahore.
With respect from the first sight since the gate to inside the tomb I feel like I'm in a Hindu temple. So many people were selling "oh wait ...NO! " they were forcing us to buy some flowers by putting those flowers on our necks and ask for money. Some sell birds to let people free them ( And this is also kinda Hindu culture which I saw in Thai temples and Hindu Temples).
The place is crowded with people and cars. We were looking for the parking and there are some guys
who tried to take us to theirs parking and take some extra money from us also.
After passing the lady security guard then we have to leave our shoes in the lots
there are some guys were trying to take our shoes and give us the number to get those shoes back later. (And in this holy place there nothing is free).
People would surrounded you & started talking about ALLAH about blessing about Islam and end up with asking you for some money even thought I said I'm a foreigner and I don't have any rupees.
They also don't mind for Dollar or another kind of currency how amazing! And if you don't have any
to give them then they would start complaining with loud voice and again take ALLAH name down.
All I see in this place just about money & Business.
I would say the place is worth to visit. But people make this holy place become something else.
What pity!
Some people came to this place because they believe that this holy place can heal them from the suffer
in theirs life. And This is not Islam.

On the way back home we stopped and buy food from here. Heard that their beef dish is very famous.
