Short History of Lalbagh Fort.
The Mughal Prince Muhammad Azam Shah, 3rd son of Aurangzeb started this fort work on 1678. But he did not complete and return back. After that Shaista Khan take charge or this area. In 1684 his daughter named Iran Dukht Pari Bibi dided there. After her death, he started to think this is an unlucky fort and he left the fort incomplete. So that you can see the incomplete fort.
