The first ever (I think, hope!) geocache in Lahore!?
Hidden while on a visit to these lovely gardens, away from the crowds, so there shouldn't be a need for stealth. Please cover well when you put it back.
Shahdara, the principal entry point to Lahore from the direction of Kabul and Kashmir, lies on the right bank of the Ravi River opposite the city of Lahore (Brand, 1996). Mughal princes, princesses, and important nobles built splendid gardens there. Shahdara became a site of Mughal architectural and political activity soon after the conquest of India by Babur in 1526. In about 1527, or one year after the conquest of Hindustan, Babur's son Mirza Kamran (brother of the second Mughal emperor, Humayun) built a garden in the area. The baradari (pavilion) and some architectural features still survive to some extent. However, the name Shahdara first appeared in the Akbarnama in the mid-1590s in connection with Akbar's visit to Kashmir in 1589. It is difficult today to know the exact boundaries of the place because of the lack of early Mughal-period textual sources. However, sources from the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries suggest that Shahdara featured many gardens and serais (inns) built by imperial and noble patrons.
