Shahdara Bagh (Urdu: شاہدره باغ; meaning “King’s Way Garden”) is a historic precinct located across the Ravi River from the Walled City of Lahore in Punjab, Pakistan. Shahdara Bagh is the site of several Mughal era monuments, including the Tomb of Jahangir, the Akbari Sarai, Tomb of Asif Khan,Tomb of Nur Jahan and Baradari of Kamran Mirza.

History

The Tomb of Jahangir was built in 1673.

Shahdara can be translated as the door of kings and also known as "the way of kings". Shah translates as "king" and dara translates as the way. In the 15th century, Shahdara was the entrance gate of Lahore during the Mughal Empire. It hosts several historic Mughal architectural sites. These include the Akbari Sarai, the Tomb of Jahangir (who was the Emperor from 1605 to 1627) and the tomb of his brother-in-law Asif Khan. Shahdara Bagh is also home to Kamran's Baradari (Kamran Ki Baradari). Although this site was originally built on the Ravi River bank, the change of the river course turned it into an island in the riverbed. The small garden houses the tomb of Mughal Princess Dohita Un Nissa Begum (1651-1697).

Transportation

Shahdara Bagh railway station serves Shahdara and surrounding areas. Shahdara Metrobus Terminal Station is located on the north bank of river Ravi .
