The project involves a detailed analysis of the Shah Burj apartments, especially the Sheesh Mahal and Naulakha pavilions. This would include references of their construction and usage in Mughal chronicles, history of their occupation and interventions by the Sikh rulers of the Punjab in the nineteenth century as well as their state duration of the British military occupation of the Lahore Fort. Decorative techniques were used in these pavilions such as pietra-dura or semi-precious stones inlaid in white marble, mirror-mosaic and frescoes were also elaborated.
