Naulakha Pavilion Photo

Photographer’s Note

Naulakha Pavilion, built by Shah Jahan in 1632, is located on the western side of the Shish Mahal courtyard in the Lahore Fort. It consists of a single rectangular room in marble with a typical convex roof in the style of a Bengal hut. It has three openings in front, one on each side, and a perforated marble screen at the back. It is a superb specimen of extremely minute and delicate pietra dura work in semi-precious stone, with beehive ornamentation on its pillars.

Nice shot of a great place. I maybe would have cloned out the wires and straightened things up a bit.

Hi Raza!
Nice shot of a historical monument. Reminds me of Baradari along Ana Sagar lake in Ajmer, India. Have you been there, by chance?

Hi Raza
As Ramesh had stated this roof pattern is reminiscent of Bengal, my native state. You did not have good light conditions, but you have used that optimally here. Well done
