The Hazuri Bagh Baradari[a] is a white-marble baradari located in the Hazuri Bagh of Lahore, Punjab, Pakistan. It was built under Ranjit Singh, maharaja of Punjab, to celebrate his capture of the Koh-i-Noor diamond from Shuja Shah of the Durrani Empire in 1813. Its construction was completed in 1818.[1][2]
The pillars support delicate cusped arches. The central area, where Ranjit Singh held court, has a mirrored ceiling. The pavilion consisted of two storeys until it was damaged by lightning in 1932.[3]
