The bazaar was established in 1633 and is located in Lahore Fort near Naulakha Pavilion.
The Shaheed Ganj Mosque is located in Naulakha Bazaar.
[1] When the Naulakha Pavilion was built in 1633 by the Mughal emperor Shah Jahan as a small summer house, it cost around 900,000 rupees, an exorbitant amount at the time.
[2] It is called Naulakha because in Punjabi language, the word means 'worth 9 lakhs rupees'.
[3] This also brought the word Naulakha into common use to signify something precious.
