12. • The word "Shalimar " in Sanskrit means abode of love.
• Garden built on a flat land on a SQUAR PLAN
• Having four radiating arms from a central location as the
water source

13. • This central channel, known as Shah Nahar.
• It runs through three terraces.
• This layout left out the radial arms and the shape became rectangular,
instead of a square plan of the Chahar Bagh.[2]

14. • Covers an area of 31 acres
• Built with a size of 587 metres length
• Total width of 251 metres
• The garden has three terraces fitted with fountains

15. • It has chinar tree-lined vistas.

16. • The garden was linked to the open Dal Lake water through a canal of
about 1.6 km length.
• 11 m in width that ran through wet land.
• Broad green paths bordered the lake with rows of chinar trees

17. FIRST TERRACE
• The first terrace is a public garden ending in the Diwan-e-Aam
• In this hall, a small black marble throne was installed over the waterfall

18. SECOND TRERRACE
• The second terrace garden along the axial canal, slightly broader, has
two shallow terraces.
• The Diwan-e-Khas (the Hall of Private Audience),is in its centre.
• However, the carved stone bases and a fine platform surrounded by
fountains are still seen.
• The royal bathrooms are located on the north-west boundary of this
enclosure.

19. THIRD TERRACE
• The axial water channel flows through the Zenana garden, which is
flanked by the Diwan-e-Khas and chinar trees.
• At the entrance to this terrace, there are two small pavilions or guard
rooms (built in Kashmir style on stone plinth)
• Shahajahan built a baradari of black marble, called the Black Pavilion in
the zenana garden.
• It is encircled by a fountain pool that receives its supply from a higher
terrace.

20. OTHER SPECIAL CHARCTERS
• The Shalimar Bagh is well known for chini khanas, or arched niches,
behind garden waterfalls
• These niches were lighted at night with oil lamps, which gave a fairy
tale appearance to the water falls.

21. • In the top terrace of the Shalimar Bagh, has the famous
inscription in Persian, which says:
Agar Firdaus bar rōy-e zamin ast,
hamin ast-o hamin ast-o hamin ast.
“ If there is a
paradise on
earth, it is
here, it is
here, it is
here. ”
