Aram Bagh ({{lang-ur|{{Nastaliq| آرام باغ}}}} meaning Garden of relaxation), formerly known as Ram Bagh ({{lang-ur|{{Nastaliq|رام باغ}}}} meaning Garden of Ram)[1] is located in Saddar Town in Karachi, Sindh, Pakistan.

Aram Bagh Masjid, as well as the Shiv Mandir and Swami Narayan Mandir, are located in the Aram Bagh area.[2][3][4]

Aram Bagh is located in densely populated uptown area of Karachi surrounded by apartment buildings and shopping centers.

History

There has been an abundance of water in the Ram Bagh area of Karachi since ancient times and many wells were dug here to supply water to the residents that settled around it. According to Hindu belief, the Hindu avatars Ram, Sita and Lakshman stayed at this location on their way to Hinglaj pilgrimage; this is how the location earned the name Ram Bagh.[2][6][4] Since that time, Ram Bagh became a place of pilgrimage for Hindus.[6][3] Karachi itself was called Ramya in some Greek texts.[4]

In 1939, Deewan Jethanand made possible the construction of Ram Bagh, a park positioned near Swami Narayan temple, which is located near Burnes Road.[5] Ram Bagh was used for Hindu religious gatherings and celebrations, as well as political gatherings.[6] The Ramlila story was enacted in Ram Bagh annually and this play lasted ten days.[7]

The British built an army cantonment in Ram Bagh area after they conquered Karachi from the Kalmati. The Ram Bagh Quarter had three water tanks, including a prominent one named the Rambagh Tank.[4] In 1857, during the war of liberation against British colonialism the freedom fighters were blasted by canons by the British forces in Ram Bagh.

During the partition of India in 1947, homes of the Hindu community in Ram Bagh were looted;[8] during this time, thousands of Muslim refugees from India set up camps in Ram Bagh and it was renamed as Aram Bagh i.e. Garden of relaxation,[4] to mark the end of their arduous journey to Pakistan.

Religious sites

The Shiv Mandir is located in Aram Bagh and is open on Monday evenings.[3] It was built by Astan Shrimati Hajeebai in memory of Ram Mangat Ram, her husband.[9]

In the past, Ram Bagh also contained the Ram Chandur Temple, among three other mandirs, each of which were "situated at the four corners of the Tank."[10]

The Aram Bagh Masjid was built in Aram Bagh, atop the stage on which Ramlila performances occurred, by the Muslims refugees that settled around the Aram Bagh.[11]

The temples were built in the garden where, according to Hindu mythology, Ram and Sita spent a night while on their way to Hinglaj for offering thanks, after Ram completed 14 years of exile in the jungle with Lakshman and Sita, following court intrigues. Till the 20th century, the area was called Rambagh. It was converted into a refugee camp after 1947 and named Arambagh. ... According to Hasan, Hinglaj is one of the seven places most sacred to Hindu. In fact, lore has it that after Ram rescued Sita from the demon king Ravana, they went to the Mahadev temple in Karachi and spent a night at this Bagh hence the name. After that Rambagh became a place of pilgrimage too, Hasan said. Karachi itself is also known as Ramya in some Greek texts, he added. Eminent conservation architect and town planner Yasmeen Lari points out that closely following the boundaries of the Artillery Maidan Quarter was the Rambagh Quarter, which boasted three water tanks, including the Rambagh Tank, giving the quarter its name.}}
