Kamran's baradari is a garden built by the Mughal Prince Mirza Kamran in 1527. It was originally located in the edge of the Ravi River, but in later years, the course of the river shifted, turning the garden into an island. The gateway (all that remains of the garden) now leads directly to the tomb of Emperor BARADARI.
