Wazir Khan Hammam

During the time of Emperor Shah Jahan, the Shahi Hammam, also referred to as the Wazir Khan Hammam, was constructed in Lahore, Pakistan, in 1635 C.E. It is a Persian-style bath. Ilam-ud-din Ansari, also known as Wazir Khan, the principal physician of the Mughal Court, constructed it. The baths were constructed as a waqf, or endowment, for the Wazir Khan Mosque's upkeep. History:

Ilam-ud-din Ansari, the governor of Lahore, erected the Shahi Hammam in 1635 as a gift that also contained the Wazir Khan Mosque. By the 18th century, the Mughal Empire had collapsed, and the baths were no longer used. The structure has served a variety of functions from the early British era, including as a dispensary, elementary school, recreation center, and office for the local government. The western, northern, and southern façades of the structure also have shops. Excavations carried out as part of restoration work finished in 2015 revealed that significant portions of the building had previously been destroyed, probably to create room for the Delhi Gate building's renovation in the 1860s. Architecture:

In keeping with Persian custom, sunlight entered the baths through several apertures in the ceiling, which also provided ventilation. The majority of the hammam's interior has been kept intact, and numerous frescoes from the Mughal Empire have survived. Due to the façade's lack of windows, merchant businesses were allowed to run along the hammam's exterior walls. Best Things to do:

The combination of artistic and architectural work makes it an outstanding example of the Golder era, and it inspires visitors. The public baths provided massage, spa, sauna, bathing, and hair-cutting services. In the past, visitors to Lahore who entered by the Delhi gate would freshen up in the Hammam before going to the mosque to worship. Wazir Khan Mosque:

One of the potential UNESCO World Heritage Sites is the Mosque. It was ordered by the Mughal court's head physician. The mosque is situated in Lahore, the provincial capital of Pakistan's Punjab. The usage of minarets in each of its four rooms is a distinctive aspect of its architecture. The mosque's corporation of 22 stores on the ground floor is an odd characteristic. The mosque's distinctiveness is further enhanced by the intricate mosaic design, also known as the Kash Kari fresco painting.
