Old Date Orchard

# In the Western City of Bhakkar, there is an Indus River flowing on whose bank lies this Old Orchard, Dilkusha Bagh which was constructed right in between the Trade route by the Princess Mehr-un-Nissa, The Daughter of Mughal Shah Jahangir.
During their journey they made a well on that spot whose water turned out extremely sweet, they stayed there for a long time and built an orchard on this spot and built two thrones to sit on them, whose remain can still be seen there.

During there stay one of the most precious horse of Mughal sardar died there and in whose memory building was built there on horse's grave.

According to another tradition, Princess Mehr-un-Nissa was also born in Bhakkar during the Migration of Mirza Ghiyas Beg and his Wife Asmat Begum (The Mother of Mehr-un-Nissa).

One of the later works from the 18th century gives an idea about the Orchard as there were no other major orchards except Dilkusha Bagh in the 18th Century. The Imperial Gazetteer of India mentions the Orchards of Bhakkar as follows:

The neighbouring riverain is full of date groves and fruit gardens; and in it stands a famous mango-tree, the fruit of which used to be sent to Kabul in the old days of Afghan rule.
