Shalimar Bagh (Urdu pronunciation: [ʃɑːliːmɑːr bɑːɣ], Kashmiri pronunciation: [ʃaːlɨməːr baːɣ]) is a Mughal garden in Srinagar, Indian-administered Jammu and Kashmir, located at the northeast of Dal Lake. It is also known as Shalimar Garden, Farah Baksh, and Faiz Baksh. The other famous shoreline garden in the vicinity is Nishat Bagh, 'The Garden of Delight'. The garden was built by Mughal emperor Jahangir in 1619 and is considered the high point of Mughal horticulture. It is now a public park and also referred to as the "Crown of Srinagar". It is the earliest of the Mughal imperial gardens called Shalimar Gardens, followed by the one in Lahore, begun in 1641 under Shah Jahan and the one in Delhi, begun in 1653 by Izz-un-Nissa, his wife.
