Chauburji, Mughal gateway monument in Lahore, Pakistan

The Chauburji monument features four towering minarets and decorated walls showcasing Persian-influenced designs with turquoise tilework and red brick patterns.

Built in 1646 during Shah Jahan's reign, this structure served as an entrance to an extensive garden belonging to Princess Zeb-un-Nisa of the Mughal Empire.

The monument incorporates elements from Mughal, Timurid, and Perso-Arabic architectural styles, displaying the multicultural influences present in South Asian Islamic design.

Located at the intersection of Multan Road and Bahawalpur Road, the monument stands in a maintained roundabout near the Orange Line metro station.

The upper section of the monument contains Arabic inscriptions of Ayat-ul-Kursi worked in blue porcelain, making it a significant example of religious artistry.
