Shalimar Gardens in Lahore, Pakistan, is a stunning example of Mughal garden design and a UNESCO World Heritage site. Constructed during the reign of Emperor Shah Jahan in 1641-1642, the gardens are a testament to the grandeur and sophistication of Mughal architecture and landscaping. The layout is characterized by its terraced levels, intricate water systems, and an array of beautifully manicured lawns, flowerbeds, and fountains. The gardens are divided into three main terraces, each with its own distinct features and aesthetic appeal.
