Hayat Bakhsh Bagh

Location

Hayat Bakhsh Bagh is popularly known as the 'Life Bestowing Garden' which is inside the premises of the Red Fort. This garden lies to the north of Moti Masjid and is divided into squares along with channels and causeways. It has two towers, namely Shah Burj and Asad Burj, out of which the former is attached to a pavilion built by Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb.

There are two more pavilions in the garden, named as Sawan Bhadon after the two months of the monsoon season. Two more small marble pavilions were built by Bahadur Shah II and were called Moti Mahal and Hira Mahal. Moti Mahal was removed after the Sepoy Mutiny of 1857. In the middle of the garden, there is a tank along with a red stone pavilion, known as Zafar Mahal.
