Naulakha Bazaar (Punjabi, ) is Bazaar (market) located in Lahore, Punjab, Pakistan. This Bazaar was established in 1633 and is located in Lahore Fort near Naulakha Pavilion. The Shaheed Ganj Mosque is located in Naulakha Bazaar. The used clothing and crockery bazaar, landa bazaar, is also located near Naulakha Bazaar. When the Naulakha pavilion was built in 1633 by the Mughal emperor Shah Jahan as a small summer house, it cost around 900,000 rupees, an exorbitant amount at the time.〔Rajput (1963), pp. 8-9〕 It is called ''Naulakha'' because in Urdu language, the word means 'worth 9 lakhs rupees'.〔In the monetary system consolidated by Mughals across India, they adopted Indian numbering system, in which one lakh denotes 100,000 units.〕 This also brought the word ''Naulakha'' into common use to signify something precious.〔Dogar (1995), p. 65〕 == See also == * Lahore Fort * Walled City of Lahore * Badshahi Mosque * Shalimar Gardens * Shaheed Ganj Mosque * Naulakha Pavilion 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Naulakha Bazaar」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
