The Shalimar Gardens (Urdu: شالیمار باغ), sometimes written Shalamar Gardens, is a Persian garden and it was built by the Mughal emperor Shah Jahan in Lahore, modern day Pakistan. Construction began in 1641 A.D. (1051 A.H.) and was completed the following year. The project management was carried out under the superintendence of Khalilullah Khan, a noble of Shah Jahan's court, in cooperation with Ali Mardan Khan and Mulla Alaul Maulk Tuni.General infoThe Shalamar Gardens are laid out in the form of an oblong parallelogram, surrounded by a high brick wall, which is famous for its intricate fretwork. The gardens measure 658 meters north to south and 258 meters east to west. In 1981, Shalimar Gardens was included as a UNESCO World Heritage Site along with the Lahore Fort, under the UNESCO Convention concerning the protection of the world's cultural and natural heritage sites in 1972.The three level terraces of the GardensThe Gardens have been laid out from south to north in three descending terraces, which are elevated by 4-5 metres (13-15 feet) above one another. The three terraces have names in Urdu as follows:* The upper terrace named Farah Baksh meaning Bestower of Pleasure.* The middle terrace named Faiz Baksh meaning Bestower of Goodness.* The lower terrace named Hayat Baksh meaning Bestower of life.Shah Nahar : Irrigation of the GardensTo irrigate the Gardens, a canal named Shah Nahar meaning Royal canal, later also known as Hansti canal, meaning Laughing canal was brought from Rajpot (present day Madhpur in India), a distance of over 161 kilometers. The canal intersected the Gardens and discharged into a large marble basin in the middle terrace.410 fountainsFrom this basin, and from the canal, rise 410 fountains, which discharge into wide marble pools. The surrounding area is rendered cooler by the flowing of the fountains, which is a particular relief for visitors during Lahore's blistering summers, with temperature sometimes exceeding 120 degrees fahrenheit. It is a credit to the ingenuity of the Mughal engineers that even today scientists are unable to fathom how the fountains were operated originally. The distribution of the fountains is as follows:* The upper level terrace has 105 fountains.* The middle level terrace has 152 fountains.* The lower level terrace has 153 fountains.* All combined, the Gardens therefore have 410 fountains.Water cascadesThe Gardens have 5 water cascades including the great marble cascade and Sawan Bhadoon.Buildings of the GardensThe buildings of the Gardens include:* Sawan Bhadum pavilions* Naqar Khana and its buildings* Khwabgah or Sleeping chambers* Hammam or Royal bath* The Aiwan or Grand hall* Aramgah or Resting place* Khawabgah of Begum Sahib or Dream place of the emperor's wife* Baradaries or summer pavilions to enjoy the coolness created by the Gardens' fountains* Diwan-e-Khas-o-Aam or Hall of special & ordinary audience with the emperor* Two gateways and minarets in the corners of the GardensTrees of the GardensSome of the varieties of trees that were planted included:* Almond* Apple* Apricot* Cherry* Gokcha* Mango* Mulberry* Peach* Plum* Poplar* Quince Seedless* Sapling of Cypress* Shrubs* Sour & sweet oranges* Numerous other varieties of odoriferous (fragrant) and non odoriferous and fruit giving plantsSite historyThe Shalimar Gardens in LahoreThe site of the Shalimar Gardens originally belonged to one of the noble Zaildar families in the region, well known as Mian Family Baghbanpura. The family was also given the Royal title of 'Mian' by the Mughal Emperor, for its services to the Empire. Mian Muhammad Yusuf, then the head of the Mian family, donated the site of Ishaq Pura to the Emperor Shah Jahan, after pressure was placed on the family by the royal engineers who wished to build on the site due to its good position and soil. In return, Shah Jahan granted the Mian family governance of the Shalimar Gardens. The Shalimar Gardens remained under the custodianship of this family for more than 350 years.In 1962, the Shalimar Gardens were nationalised by General Ayub Khan because leading Mian family members had opposed his imposition of martial law in Pakistan.The Mela Chiraghan festival used to take place in the Gardens, until President Ayub Khan ordered against it in 1958.Location of the GardensThe Shalimar Gardens are located near Baghbanpura along the Grand Trunk Road some 5 kilometers northeast of the main Lahore city.Text reference from Wikipedia and Photography by Munawar Ahmed - Lahore PakistanCell #: +92 (0) 300 4 16 64 59Email : munawarahmed7@gmail.com
