 The door to the garden by Laurina I find the Shalimar gardens very lovely and depressing at the same time. Like most of the crumbling legacies left by the Moghuls in Pakistan, not enough is being done to preserve the beautiful monuments, the Shalimar gardens included. Recently I have heard that a renovation project will take place in the gardens - great news! If you walk around the inner wall you can find little gems, like this colorful door.... Leave a Comment

The impressive Shalimar Gardens in 5KM (3 miles) from the centre of town on the Grand Trunk Road towards the Indian border. This is the only garden left in whole subcontinent which shows what a Mughal was like. You can get there in about 20 minutes from railway station on wagon number 12. The best time to visit garden is when the fontains are playing 10 to11am and 4to 5pm in summer, and 11 to 12 noon and 3 to 4 pm in winter. The garden was built by Shahjahan in 1642 as a pleasure garden for royal household; it follows the Mughal concept of the perfect walled garden, with three tarraces of straight, shaded walks, geometrically arranged ponds, fountains and marble pavillions, surronded by flowers and fruit trees. The garden is especially lovely in Feburary and March when the flowers are atr their best; in summer it can be dry and dusty, though it is still a pleasent place to relax after a sightseeing expedition.

by AliJoe SHALIMAR GARDEN : Built by Mongul Emperor Shah Jehan....+ - 5 Kilometer from city center.The gardens were originally spread over seven ascending terraces but three remain now. The area + - 40 acres. The beautiful is ,there is a marble pavilion under which the water flows and fall down in the cascade over a carved marble slab, creating the effect of a water fall. Wonder the ancient design, architecture and engineering work. Where they learn..eh ? PHOTO : BUSY DAY IN LAHORE'S MARKET Leave a Comment

by AliJoe 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. Leave a Comment
