Naulakha, Lahore Fort

Shah Jahan's marble pavilion with a curved roof

The Naulakha is a small white marble pavilion on the western side of the Sheesh Mahal court in Lahore Fort, built early in Shah Jahan's reign. It is known for its curved bangla roof, modelled on the thatched huts of Bengal, and for pietra dura so fine that one small flower holds about 102 pieces of stone.
