1019 CE

Lahore appears as the capital of the Punjab for the first time under Anandapala—the Hindu Shahi king who is referred to as the ruler of (hakim i lahur)—after leaving the earlier capital of Waihind.

Few references to Lahore remain from before its capture by Sultan Mahmud of Ghazni in the eleventh century.

The sultan takes Lahore after a long siege and battle in which the city is torched and depopulated.
