Ali Mardan Khan, one the most important Persian nobles of Shah Jahan’s reign, was a significant contributor to the field of architecture and landscape design. His life history has been adequately documented, but his contributions in the context of Mughal architecture have not received adequate attention by scholars. His garden in Peshawar was one of Ali Mardan Khan’s most important projects, briefly mentioned by British-era travellers, but lacking an in-depth study. The baradari and the garden were occupied by the Sikhs and the British in the mid-eighteenth and mid-nineteenth centuries, respectively, and later by the Pakistan Army; during these periods, alterations were made to the garden and baradari. While not open to the public because the site is still utilized by the Pakistan Army, in 2006, the author was permitted to undertake thorough documentation and archaeological investigations. This paper analyses Ali Mardan Khan’s baradari and places it in the context of Mughal architecture in the light of historical texts and field research carried out by the author.

贵族花园：在莫卧儿建筑的背景下将阿里马尔丹汗的巴拉达里放在白沙瓦

阿里马尔丹汗是沙贾汗统治时期最重要的波斯贵族之一，是建筑和景观设计领域的重要贡献者。他的生平已被充分记录，但他在莫卧儿建筑背景下的贡献并未得到学者们的足够重视。他在白沙瓦的花园是 Ali Mardan Khan 最重要的项目之一，曾被英国时代的旅行者简要提及，但缺乏深入研究。baradari 和花园分别在 18 世纪中叶和 19 世纪中叶被锡克人和英国人占领，后来被巴基斯坦军队占领；在这些时期，对花园和巴拉达里进行了改造。2006 年，由于该场地仍被巴基斯坦军队使用，因此不向公众开放，提交人被允许进行彻底的记录和考古调查。本文根据作者进行的历史文本和实地研究，分析了 Ali Mardan Khan 的 baradari，并将其置于莫卧儿建筑的背景下。
