Samnabad landmark (page 162)


Monument near Samnabad, Lahore—The Chauburji (four minars) gateway is all that remains of an extensive garden known to have existed in Mughal times. The gate bares an inscription dated 1646, stating that Jahan Ara first built the garden’s entrance gate, but then bestowed it upon Miyan Bai, most likely a high ranking attendant. Originally it was the gateway to the Garden of Zebinda Begum (Zeb-un-Nissa), the daughter of Aurangzeb.
