History
[edit | edit source]Gulzar Mahal was built between 1906 and 1909.[4] It was commissioned during the reign of Sadeq Mohammad Khan V,[5][4] 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.[6] The palace is surrounded by a large garden,[7] and located in the Bahawalgarh Palace Complex in close proximity to the Darbar Mahal, Farrukh Mahal, and Nishat Mahal palaces.[8] This beautiful palace was named after the wife of the Nawab Bahawal Khan V.
The architectural design of this palace blends the European and Indian styles together, with classical touch of pristine white color.
