Darbar Mahal is an Indo-Saracenic palace in Bahawalpur, Punjab, Pakistan, built in 1905 to serve as the venue for courtly events and government offices of the former princely state of Bahawalpur. The palace occupies a 75-acre garden. Beginning in 1966, the entire complex was leased to the armed forces and now functions as the Headquarters of the 35 Infantry Division of Pakistan Army, remaining closed to the public.
