Hayat Bakhsh Bagh

The garden is beautifully decorated by pools, fountains, canals, walled enclosures and channels.

[2] The garden is divided into four squares, with causeways, water channels and a star-shaped parterre framed with red sandstone.

Originally small oil lamps would be lit and placed in these niches at night, or vases with golden flowers be placed during the day.

Originally a red sandstone bridge led into the pavilion, which was probably lost after the Indian Rebellion of 1857.

This garden was completely destroyed by the British after the failed rebellion and four large military barracks constructed on its spot.
