The map of the palace is made up with such expertness that the palace
looks like a garden from all its views and the desert area also comes in
front of it. There are gardens all around the palace but from the
northern door one can see pools of water and form the other side of the
door desert can also be viewed. There is also a library in the palace in
which some rare books in English, Urdu, Persian and Arabic on different
topics are available. All palaces of Bahawalpur are constructed
considering Islamic ways because if any palace is constructed using
European or any other style but bastions and domes are always there.

Because most of the palaces were constructed during the governance of
Sir Sadiq Muhammad Khan (IV) it can be said that he was the King of
Bahawalpur. He had fondness of establishing new buildings so most of the
important buildings in Bahawalpur are put up by His Highness. The Sadiq
Manzil, Mubarik Manzil and Rahat Manzil are also gifted by His Highness. |
