Title:

Lahore, Kuri Bagh. Tomb of General Allard's daughter. General view from north-west. Photographer: Archaeological Survey of India

Scope & Content:

Genre: Architectural Photography

'Close to the mausoleum of Mauj Daria, Bukhari, is the Ahluwalia-House, or the house belonging to the Raja of Kapurthala. It is called by the people Kuri Bagh, or 'daughter's garden'. The house was originally by M. Allard, the French Officer, in the service of Maharaja Ranjit Singh. His daughter, having died here, was interred in the garden attached to the house, which on that account came to be called Kuri Bagh. The tomb of the deceased is on a mound to the north-west of the garden, and on a slab in the floor is the following inscription:- 'To Marie Charlotte, décédée le 5me Avril, 1827, fille de M. Allard de St. Topiz Chivalier de la Legion d'Honneur Generale de la Cavalerie' (Syad Muhammad Latif, 'Lahore: its history, architectural remains and antiquities', Lahore, 1892, p. 196). General Jean Francois Allard (1785-1839) entered the service of Ranjit Singh in 1822, training his Sikh cavalry on the European model. He was also Political Agent of the French Government at Lahore, where he is buried.
