There were not going on with these two powers at the time of the hanging gardens. The one empire who succeeded the Babylonians was the Persian.

Actually it was a gift for the king's wife since she was Persian and she did not like the desert.

The Hanging Gardens of Babylon are from the city of Babylon built by King Nebuchadnezzar 2 to impress his Persian wife.

Shalimar is the name of a palace, the Shalimar Gardens, located in Lahore, Pakistan. The district of Lahore near these gardens is called Shalimar Town.

The romantic associations of the palace (the word "shalimar" means "abode of love" in Persian) have resulted in the word being used in a number of contexts, notably in the song "Pale hands I loved beside the Shalimar".
