It is usually translated as âabode of lightâ or âmoonlightâ, without any grammatical or lexical explanations.Several Mughal gardens bear the name Shalimar: like the one built by Jahangir for Empress Nur Jahan, near Srinagar in Kashmir.t times they call it Shalamar, perhaps leaning on the Hindi connection of shala meaning âhomeâ.
