Wah Gardens, also known as Mughal Garden Wah, is located in the old village of Wah near Wah. It is a structure of twelve doors having a beautiful garden and ponds and depicts the Mughal construction style. The garden was built under the supervision of Raja Maan Singh when he was posted at Wah to stop enemies in the year 1581-1586. Raja Maan Singh was a trusted Commander of the Mughal Emperor Akbar. Several Mughal Emperors and their allies stayed in the garden when while traveling. The Mughal Emperor Jehangir also stayed in the garden and described his visit to the garden in his autobiography. He talked about the beauty of the Garden and the activities he did in it including fishing. In 1639, the emperor Shah Jahan stopped in Wah en route to Kabul. He placed a call to his central construction division and directed them to rebuild the structures. The gardens, mansions, and inns were designed by the renowned architect of the day Ahmed Maamar Lahoree. It took two years to complete the building, which was managed by him. The garden was constructed in the Mughal architectural style. He created stunning twelve-door buildings, canals, and waterfalls. He built restrooms with a combination of hot and cold water at the southernmost point of these twelve-door buildings. The buildings' interiors have been plastered. Flowers and petals have been used to embellish the walls of the smaller rooms. The Garden was badly damaged after the Mughal Era and remained so until a few years back. The Garden has significant historical importance and thus was handed over to the Department of Archeology by the Government of Pakistan. The repairs and maintenance work has been started to restore the Garden.
