The Noor Mahal (Punjabi/Urdu: نور محل, lit. 'Palace of Light') is a historic royal palace located in Bahawalpur, Punjab, Pakistan. It was constructed in the 1870s by the princely state of Bahawalpur, and served as the residence and workplace of the Nawab. It is currently owned by the Ministry of Defense (MoD) under the management of the Army Secretariat.
