Heera Mandi (Diamond Market) is the ancient red light area of Lahore. This place is behind the famous restaurant “Coco’s Den” in the ancient walled city of Lahore. I have not visited this place during the peak “tukdinadin” hours but can share information exchange from gossips. People go there to see girls dancing (mujra) and singing for the clients. Remember drinking is not permitted. From 11pm to 1am, dance performance is permitted by the local authorities and therefore by 11pm doors of visitor rooms in the houses open and girls sit on the sofas providing their full view to the people on the road. Again don’t think they are wearing revealing dresses….hehe!
Warning – Although this business is permitted during said hours but there have been a couple of incidences in the past when the dancers and clients were arrested by the local police, just because the police head was not happy with the monthly “kickback”.

An extreme sort of tactful way of putting things. Hahaha... very interest way of putting such controversial insider information. With all due repest for the writer, the following sentence exhibits throughly different meaning here!
