Shalimar Bagh
Wherever life takes us, there are always moments of wonder
The most beautiful of all the Mughal gardens, Shalimar Bagh was built for Nur Jahan, “Light of the world”, by her husband Jehangir in 1616. The gardens are straight out of a fairy tale. The top most of the four terraces called the “Abode of Love”, was reserved for the emperor and the ladies of court. There is a huge tank, and around 150 fountains dazzle with their display. Electric lights add charm to the beautiful atmosphere.
