It
was
built
in
the
foot
hills
of Himalayas as
one
of
the Mughal
gardens summer
retreat
for
the Aurangzeb (r.
1658-1707),
who
then
had
his
capital
at Lahore,
by
his
foster
brother
architect Muzaffar
Hussain (also
known
as Nawab "Fidai
Khan
Koka"),
who
as
Aurangzeb's master
of
ordnance
had
also
supervised
the
construction
of Badshahi
Mosque (1671-73)
of Lahore.
It
was
built
during
the
early
days
of
Aurangzeb's
rule
but
the
accurate
date
is
not
known.
Since
the
time
of
Shahjahan, mughals reserved
the
pavilions
with Balustered columns
supporting
the cusped
arches only
for
the
use
of
emperor
and
his
immediate
family,
hence,
it
was
likely
built
for
Aurangez's
personal
use
as
summer
retreat.
