The Jahangiri Quadrangle refers to a palace court in Lahore Fort. The central area of the courtyard contains a central tank with a mahtab, or platform, and a series of fountains. The group of buildings set around the quadrangle was completed by Jahangir. The buildings consist of small, flat-roofed rooms supported by red sandstone pillars. The chajja, or projecting eave, of the courtyard wings is supported by zoomorphic brackets carved in the shape of elephants, felines and peacocks. The style is a combination of the local tradition in brick architecture, with adaptations from the imperial style as seen in Agra and Fatehpur Sikri. The main building of the court, the Khawabgah-i- Jahangiri, Jahangir's sleeping rooms, stands in the middle of its north side. Some describe the quadrangle as the main zenana, or women's quarter, of the palace Jahangir’s Quadrangle was the women’s area of the Fort. Construction started sometime during Emperor Akbar’s rule and it was completed during Jahangir’s reign in 1617 – 18 AD. The material used is locally produced, brick and red sandstone, and the architectural style follows closely the style of the imperial buildings of Agra and Fatehpur Sikri. The courtyard was planned to have a pool with fountains and a seating platform. Daulat Khan-e-Khas-o-Aam, the famous Jharoka and Masjidi Darwaza etc. Mughal emperors continued to add magnificent building in the Fort. Jahangir (1605-1627 A.D.), added Daulat Khana and Jahangir Quadrangle in 1618 A.D While there are other elements in the Quadrangle, I choose to talk about the Sehdara, which has not undergone restoration and is a very interesting piece of architecture. The layers of painting on the walls and the roof seem to show some very interesting frescos carried out in a European portraiture style depicting Christian religious figures. The building is said to have been built or used a Christian chapel. The discovery of these documents in Kharak Singh’s Haveli holds the potential to reshape the understanding of the region’s history. By delving into the past, these ancient papers have the power to educate and inspire future generations, illuminating the rich tapestry of history that has unfolded in the heart of Lahore. In Shahi Qila, presently, the first floor of this great haveli is being used by the Punjab Archeology Department, for Archeological Survey office and ground floor has the Archeology’s Library which is a remarkable house of antique books. The library is worth visiting as it is open for all and one can surf through the centuries old books there.
