Shalamar Gardens in Lahore

February 21, 2020

My first card from Pakistan: The Shalamar Gardens, a Mughal garden in Lahore, layering Persian influences over medieval Islamic garden traditions, and bearing witness to the apogee of Mughal artistic expression. The Mughal garden is characterized by enclosing walls, a rectilinear layout of paths and features, and large expanses of flowing water. The Shalimar Gardens cover 16 hectares, inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1981.

Thanks a lot for this card Gert!
