Latest Lahore hotel reviews
Five kilometers east of Lahore are the famous Shalimar Gardens laid out by the Mughal Emperor Shah-Jehan in 1642 A.D. The Gardens are spread out in typical Mughal style and are surrounded by high walls with watch-towers at the four corners. Originally, the gardens were spread over seven ascending terraces, but only three remain now which cover an area of about 42 acres. The brick-work of the floors of the three terraces have been repaired according to their original designs which differ on all three terraces. There is a marble pavilion under which water flows and cascades down over a carved marble slab creating a water-fall effect. Across the water-fall is a marble throne. At the end of the second terrace is a beautiful structure called Sawan Bhadon, a sunken tank with niches on its three sides. Water cascades down from it in sheets in front of the niches, producing the sound of falling rain. In the olden times, small oil lamps were placed in the niches which reflected myriad colours, through the water

SHALIMAR GARDEN : At the end of the second terrace is a beautiful structure called Sawan Bhadon ( sound strange..eh ! ), with small niches on the three sides of a sunken tank. Water cascades down in sheets infront of the niches producing exact sounds of falling rain. According to the local people, in the olden times, small oil lamps used to burn in the niches reflecting myriad colors through the water.
