Famous gardens in Pakistan
Peaceful as the earthly paradise it represents, Shalimar is a girl’s name of Arabic origin that points to one of Pakistan’s most picturesque oases. This magnificent moniker comes from The Shalamar Gardens, located in the city of Lahore, which were hailed in the 16th century as Persia’s very own heaven on earth. Bursting with colorful, exotic blooms, bright, glistening founts, and bold architecture, The Shalimar Gardens are, and have always been, a bliss from the blue above. And naming baby after them is a wonderfully unique way to honor the beauty they’ll be in the eyes of all.
