In the context of the cultural and regional history of Lahore, various rulers left
their mark in the form of built heritage. Ornamentation and its connection with the
buildings cannot be ignored. This paper is focused on the designs observed in one
of the Courtrooms of the High Court building, Lahore. The descriptive research in
a historical setting is applied. It aims to bring in light the design ornamentation
present in the interior of this historic monument. It also aims to explore the context
of these motifs with a link to the regional style of Lahore. Chief Court building
interior ornamentation was selected as the sample for this paper. This research is
helpful for art historians, design students as well as heritage conservatives. The
paper also identified various motifs carrying inspiration from local floral patterns,
a variation of the acanthus motif. It was quite interesting in developing an
understanding of the philosophy behind using various patterns. Further in-depth
research on designs to preserve them for the future generations is need of the
hour
