Wazir Khan`s Baradari
PunjabBaradariProtected
Wazir Khans Baradari is a beautiful specimen of civic architecture belonging to the Mughal style of Shah Jahans days. The Baradari has twelve arched openings, three on each side and adorned with four corner cupolas. The main chamber is surrounded by four Pesh-e-Dalans and was once crowned by a high dome (disappeared since long). The interior was decorated with fresco paneling dome in multi-colours, producing a pleasing effect in harmony with the picturesque surroundings of a spacious date garden called Nakhliya, which has disappeared.
