Kamran's Baradari is a very beautiful and ancient art structure buildings. I'm a photographer and this place is Heaven for me. Natural beauty and ancient vibes. But, to reach the actual location you have to sit in a boat and water is very polluted and smell is everywhere. If you can bear this you should have to go there. I only recommend those people who have Pashion for photos. Thank you.

It is a historical place located in the middle of ravi river in lahore. It is called kamran ki bara dari and is constructed by the son of Mughal emporer Kamran who was the governer of Punjab. Very beautiful, peaceful, calm and natural place. Must visit please.

Historical Garden, Beautiful, and Healthy place for visitors

Quite peaceful place to visit some time not much crowded. Suitable for those who love historical places.

Kamran's Baradari is the ostensibly the earliest known Mughal monument in Lahore, said to have been built by Prince Kamran in the 1520s. However, the pavilion more likely dates to the reign of Shah Jahan (1627-58) as certain architectural features such as the use of cusped arches were not employed until Shah Jahan's reign. The attribution of the structure to Prince Kamran likely derived from local oral traditions which were picked up by Latif when he collected material for his comprehensive book on Lahore's architectural heritage in 1892. The baradari originally stood at the edge of the Ravi river, but over time the course of the river changed and the site became an island. Sometime over the course of the centuries the river flooded, taking half the baradari along with it. As Mughal buildings are generally symmetrical, it was possible for historians to infer the design of the lost portion and it was rebuilt in 1989 at a cost of 19.6 million rupees (about $1 million USD at the time). Unfortunately, the restoration extended to the remaining half and resulted in the total effacement of its surface decoration including the few fragments of original decoration to have survived. Of the gardens, very few traces survived in the late 20th century and a new garden based partially on Mughal motifs was built to the west of the Baradari.

Nice location of a historical place that is not well known. Needs a huge amount of renovation and maintenance. Locals use the gardens for cricket practice causing damage to the 15th century gardens and paving. The kids use the pavilion as a playground with graffiti all over the building. Education required for the population to appreciate the historical significance of the place. Better transport links also required.

Historical places, so calm and peaceful, beside the Ravi River

It is called Kamran ki Baradari. Bara means twelve and dar means doors. Kamran ki baradari was a twelve door building on the bank of River Ravi. The baradari structure itself is a testimony to the engineering skill of Mughal builders. At the end of 19th century, Latif recorded “for more than half a century has the impetuous current of the ancient Ravi struggled to annihilate its walls, whose feet it washed, but with the exception of a portion washed away at a time beyond the memory of the living generation, the edifice stands quite unaffected by the ebb and flow of the majestic river.” The river that once flowed close to the city walls changed course during the first half of the 18th century, and destroyed the edifices and gardens laid by Mughal nobility. Mirza Kamran’s garden shared the same fate, although a few traces of old garden paths can still be seen.

A very scenic and historical place near river ravi lahore, from minar e pakistan toward river ravi via gt.road an slide road just on the edge and start of river ravi leading to the way, accessible parking and then to book a cruise per person rs.50 to round of the kamran baradari, takes 15 minutes to drop and visit there a beautiful garden history and scenic 360 view of river roof top of bara dari also accessible for the view of river and bridge ravi mist visit place for peaceful environment no quality food items offered need to arrange by own april 2019.

The place was not restored by the Government. The whole beautiful infrastructure is damaged. Please 🙏 focus on this place and restore it so that everyone can come here to enjoy this place. Moreover; the way to Kamran's Baradari is not good enough, it's good to say that there's no proper way to this place.

Loved the view and the gathering on weekends.

Kamran baradari is very good place of mughal time.

Baradari of Kamran Mirza ( کامران کی بارہ دری) is a summer pavilion in Lahore, Pakistan. It was built in 1540 by Kamran Mirza, a son of first Mughal emperor Babur, and a brother of the second Mughal emperor Humayun. The building is believed to be the oldest existing Mughal structure in Lahore, and is the only garden in Lahore's Shahdara Bagh area that was not converted into a funerary monument. After Babur's death in 1530, Kamran Mirza seized Lahore and laid a garden in which the baradari was built in 1540. At the time of construction, the baradari was on the western bank of the River Ravi in the Shahdara Bagh region,[4] though it now stands on an island in the middle of the river, due to shifts in the river's course. The pavilion remained in use by Mughal royals until the 18th century. After the British annexed Punjab in 1849, the pavilion was turned into a tollhouse for boats crossing the river. It was also mentioned as Turgurhwallee Baradari in an 1867 map of Lahore, where it was shown located on the western bank of the river. Part of baradari's eastern façade had been damaged by floods by the 1850s, while the baradari's second story had also been damaged or dismantled around the same time.[6] The pavilion sustained further damage by flooding in 1958. It was reconstructed in 1989 at a cost of 19.6 million rupees (about $1 million). Like all baradaris, the structure has twelve doors. The pavilion was originally two levels with 12 columns of vaulted balconies. We arranged a Barb BQ party for our friends and enjoyed time.

The best place for photoshoot, a beautiful historical place. If you want to visit this place you should buy a ticket of 50Rs on Ravi river. The boatsman will transport you from one end to that end where baradari is present.

On the River Ravi's edge, the Kamran Baradari stands, its glory days faded, its current state dilapidated. Once a regal pavilion, now a haunt for passersby, including TikTok creators and wanderers. Families might want to steer clear. Reachable by boat or a rough road, both paths echo the baradari's deterioration. A pool that no longer glistens reflects its condition. Amidst this, faint echoes of history remind us of its former grandeur, now tangled with neglect.

Not a family friendly place. Although the river is scenic and beautiful but as a public asset it is poorly maintained and managed. Wall chalking on cultural building must be prohibited

Just a historical place good to visit and enjoy

Kamran's Baradari Lahore Kamran Mirza, sometimes known simply as Kamran, (1509 – 5 (or 6) October 1557) was the second son of Babur, the founder of the Mughal Empire and the first Mughal Emperor.

Like all baradaris, the structure has twelve doors. The pavilion was originally two levels with 12 columns of vaulted balconies. Best place for photography. Love this place alot. Nearby to the bank of river Ravi an osm view. 4/5 thumbs up....❤️

Ill maintained and ignored architecture. As a part of history, worth visiting in good weather. Avoid going in intense heat and dark Hours. Children to be kept in control as building is risky and ponds are not walled off. Two routes, one is by road Via Shahdra, 2nd is just beside Ravi River, where about 200 meters is to be crossed through boats with 100 rupees ticket.

Very attractive historical place but unfortunately not looked after by Government. It is at its pathetic condition due to negligence of Govt. It is fully crowded by drug addicts. Moreover the beauty of the walls has lost its charm beacuse of people rubbish writing upon the walls of Baradari.

It portrays a love tale. It is very well maintained by its gardeners. It gives some very good romantic vibes.

Nice place. Regular maintenance required. No cricket should be allowed inside this monument

A Historical Place at the western bank of River Ravi in Lahore, This Pavilion was built by Kamran Mirza in 1540, a son of mughal emperor Babur and brother of Humayun.

Excellent for picnic, photoshoot or just sight seeing. Good for both families and individuals. Visit my YouTube channel for complete video

Excellent Farm House plus other facilities. This is being reflect the History of the Country. Beautiful decoration, excellent food are the moto of this place.

Nice location of a historical place that is not well known. Needs a huge amount of renovation and maintenance. Locals use the gardens for cricket practice causing damage to the 15th century gardens and paving. The kids use the pavilion as a playground with graffiti all over the building. Education required for the population to appreciate the historical significance of the place. Better transport links also required.

Peaceful and relaxing place. May become a best tourist attraction in Lahore if properly maintained and look after. There is no cafe, no washrooms, no administration, no help desk, need extra care. Lawns and Pools should be properly cleaned and maintenance

first time aya felt a lot

Good Place for visit in your holidays. But there is no proper shops for refreshment. Some peoples selling water and juice but not good quality. I advice if you go for visit there you should take things for your refreshment with you from outside.

This place is best for video & photo shoot

Nice place to visit. You can reach there by boat but water is extremely polluted in this side of river ravi. But its really historic place. Don't go specially for this place, but if you visit lahore, then you can spend good 1 hour there too

Water of ravi river is poluted, but in peak summers its ok.... Baradari is good place to visit. 50 rs per person fair for boat for both side travel to cross river.

Good memorial place, must be visit. Anyhow there aren't facilities such water, washroom, restroom etc provided by local authorities despite they are charging entry tickets

Kamran Baradari is very Impressive or beautiful place you can see all around Area on The Top Roof also Weather is good having A lot of Greenery also Rive View Very Useful place for Photoshoot

The baradari was so dirty and it has all the graffiti over it. I was with UK foreigners and i was so embarrassed to see the condition of it. There were dirty pampers and garbage all around. Need a lot of clealiness and need renovation of the building from bottom to top. Outside garden was properly maintained and it was nice to see it..

An ancient place that represents the Mughal Empire's Art but it is very sad that the government did played its part for keeping the originality of the place.

Very peaceful place but no parking & insecure about vehicle

One of the best Historical Places in Lahore City. We visit this place every year at 31st December, to view mesmerizing beauty of sun set.
