Karavan Heritage Mural - Karachi Canvas

The Karavan Heritage Mural began in January 2004 at the Shahi Qila, painted by school children of Lahore. In 2004 it was approximately 400 feet long and today in 2008 it is approximately 1700 feet long and increasing.

This is an ever increasing mural which will continue to grow as more and more children paint various heritage structures. Not only have students contributed to this mural but also the children and women from the earthquake area have added to this amazing canvas and this has helped them to overcome that traumatic time. All the murals painted at these events will be added to the earlier sections and displayed at each venue where children’s assembly takes place. The painting of murals will be a continuing activity by Schools Heritage Wallay Societies in various cities. The Karavan Heritage Mural represents the culture and heritage of Pakistan as seen through the eyes of young people.
