The Noor Mahal (Urdu: نور محل) is a historic real estate owned by the Ministry of Defense (MoD) under the management of the Army Secretariat in Bahawalpur, Punjab, Pakistan.
[3] Nawab Sadiq Khan IV, who was known for his love of architecture and often compared to Shahjahan of Bahawalpur, commissioned the palace for his wife, Noor.
[3] However, after spending only one night in the palace, Noor decided not to return due to its close proximity to the Basti Malook Shah graveyard, which was visible from her balcony.
[2] On February 9, 1933, an important event was held at Noor Mahal to celebrate the union between the British Government and the Bahawalpur State.
The building was declared a "protected monument" in September 2001 by the Government of Pakistan's Department of Archeology, and it is now open for general visitors, students trips and other interested persons.
