Шаблон:Infobox buildingGulzar Mahal is a palace in the city of Bahawalpur, Pakistan.[1]

History

Gulzar Mahal was built between 1906 and 1909.[2] It was commissioned during the reign of Sadeq Mohammad Khan V,[3][2] and was built to be the residence for women members of the royal household of the former princely state of Bahawalpur, aside from the Queen.[4] The palace is surrounded by a large garden,[5] and is located in the Bahawalgarh Palace Complex in close proximity to the palaces of Darbar Mahal, Farrukh Mahal, and Nishat Mahal.[6] This beautiful palace was named after the wife of the Nawab Bahawal Khan V.[7]

The palace has been leased by the armed forces since 1966,[8][9] and is currently not open to the general public.[2] The architectural design of this Palace blends the European and Indian styles together, with classical touch of pristine white color.[10]
