The structure of tomb has been damaged because of no proper management by relevant authorities. When i visited the tomb was being renovated however surrounding ground and tomb structure was not looking as it should have.

The Tomb of Nadira Begum is a Mughal era tomb in the city of Lahore, Pakistan, which houses the tomb of Mughal princess Nadira Banu Begum, wife of Prince Dara Shikoh.Nadira was the wife of Dara Shikoh, who served as the governor of Lahore in the 1640s. In 1659, Dara was fighting his brother Aurangzeb for the Mughal throne. After Daras defeat in the Battle of Deorai, he and his wife tried to flee to Iran through the Bolan Pass, but Nadira died of dysentery and exhaustion. Though Daras troops were depleted, he sent his remaining soldiers to carry his wifes body from the pass to Lahore, to be buried near the shrine of Mian Mir, whom both considered to be their spiritual guideThe tomb is believed to have been robbed of all costly marbles and semi-precious stones during Ranjit Singhs rule, leaving it in a dilapidated state. The tomb is also a prey to contemporary vandalism which is evident from the gaudy graffiti on the mausoleum with the ugly plague of wall chalking.Unlike other Mughal tombs, which are built in gardens, this tomb does not have a dome and was built in a sunken water tank.The tomb stands at the center of the tank on a raised platform .The tank was 200 by 200 Mughal gaz in size Later, however the tank was converted into a Mughal garden. The corners of the tank were denoted by pavilions and the tomb could be accessed through lofty gateways on the north and south through a masonry bridge.The bridge stands on thirty arches. The central chamber is 14 feet wide and is surrounded by an ambulatory. The square tomb measures 44 feet on each side and is 32 ft 6 in tall. The first storey is 13 feet and surrounded by square headed apertures. The stairs for reaching the upper storey are located in the northeast and southeast corners. The grave is 6 ft 10 in long, 2 ft 10 in wide and 1 ft 8 in high. Quranic verses are inscribed in Nastaliq script on a marble slab on the northern face of the grave

Nadira Banu Begum (14 March 1618 – 6 June 1659) was a Mughal princess and the wife of Crown prince Dara Shikoh , [1] the eldest son andheir-apparent of the Mughal emperor Shah Jahan . [2] After Aurangzeb s rise to power, Dara Shikohs immediate family and all of his supporters were in grave danger. Nadira died in 1659, few months before her husbands execution, and was survived by two sons and a daughter.Nadira Begum died on 6 June 1659 of dysentery while she was accompanying her husband and family in Bolan Pass , Pakistan . She had been faithful and devoted to her husband during the hardships in his life and had shared in all his wanderings. Her death drew Dara into such a frantic state of grief that his own fate appeared a matter of indifference to him. [12]Nadiras last wish was to be buried in India , and without considering the consequences of her request, Dara sent his deceased wifes corpse toLahore in charge of his soldiers to be buried there. [13] The princess tomb was built next toMian Mir s tomb in Lahore, Pakistan, who had been the spiritual instructor of Dara Shikoh.

Well its quite a famous area around here. Its a traditional Mughal Tomb but has become more of play ground. Even club level cricket matches are conducted here. Ground is also used as a marriage center. Its name is baradari (12 grounds). Not much watched over by the government, original shape is loosing. More of nearby resident kids playground. Still a big plus for health conscious people as they can jog and exercise here.

Nadira Bano Begum, who was the wife of Dara Shikoh (brother of Mogal Emperor Aurangzeb), died on June 6, 1659 and wanted to be buried to India, and her husband sent her corpse to Lahore for burial. It is a beautiful tomb, with a lot of gardens all around the tomb. It is not only the historical asset for the city, but it also provides families a peaceful place to come and have picnic in the playgrounds. Mogals are respected and known worldwide, thus this monument should be taken care of.
