Shalimar Bagh

Built in 1691 with a history tracing back to the 2nd century.

Emperor Jahangir built Shalimar Bagh as an expression of love for his beloved Empress Nur Jahan

A blend of Persian architecture and the horticultural talents of the Mughal empire. A garden in full bloom, surrounded by flowing water and the summer of Lahore.The chini khanas lit with oil lamps to illuminate the waterfalls.

Shalimar, in sanskrit, the abode of love, this was the summer royal residence

Inspiring a nostalgic blend of neroli and jasmine
