Mughal kings built many gardens, besides forts and mausoleums, in the northern India during their reign. These all enticing gardens have survived the strongholds of time and change. Rambagh, the famous mughal garden in Agra, is one such example. Today there are a number of gardens calling in, Agra. The famous gardens and newly constructed parks have further helped in beautifying the city.
The Rambagh Gardens and the ones at various tourist complexes provide for the leisure, pleasure. These lush green gardens which are provided with pools and fountains are great doctors for a spiritual being. The fragrance of flora, colorful flowers, cool shades, murmurs of water and Shhhhh! The gardens does not provide joy they brings it out from the depths of peace and solace. People are vulnerable to nature and these gardens come only as a form of it. Let us say that the gardens are exquisite. But then they are not. The gardens like the ones at Agra are beautiful, charming, bewitching ..., if that is how the thing that brings joy is defined.
The mughal gardens are also famous for their architectural plans. Mughal gardens are built in a typical Charbagh pattern. The entire garden area is divided into four sections by watercourses, pavements and the gardens are often cascaded.
Taj Mahal Garden
However, unlike the other Mughal mausoleums, Taj stands regally at the north end overlooking the river. Stone-paved pathways further subdivide them into sixteen flowerbeds. Located centrally, halfway between the actual tomb and the gateway, is an elevated marble lotus-tank with a beautiful cusped and trefoiled border. The water of tank perfectly reflects Taj and one can get a clear and unobstructed view of the mausoleum from any spot in the garden. The keen aesthetic sense is remarkable in the arrangement of the fountains and cypress trees only at the north-south water canal so as not to divert the attention of the viewer to the sides!
Rambagh Gardens
The Mughal Emperors of India, were very influenced by their Persian background. In Persia, the pleasure garden is an important part of the landscape of every city. The Mughal emperors introduced the same concept in India. In Islam, the garden is considered a representation of Paradise, a word derived from pairidesa, which means land of fairies. Devout Muslims should not only aspire to reach paradise but should strive to create its likeness on earth. Therefore the Mughal Emperors laid out many beautiful gardens to create a paradise within their kingdoms. You can see the beautiful Rambagh Gardens in Agra, on tours to Agra with Agra Hub.
Dayal Bagh Gardens
The Dayalbagh Educational Institute is located amidst the tranquil environs of Dayalbagh, a self-contained colony renowned for its serene environment and secular establishments, in which its inhabitants lead an active, disciplined and co-operative community life dedicated to service, conforming to the high spiritual ideals of their faith. On the outskirts of the historic city of Agra, the campus is situated in garden settings, away from the din and noise of the city. Nestled between lush green fields, it provides an excellent ambience and academic setting which is in harmony with nature. This, along with a simple, disciplined and principled life, undoubtedly contributes to the strength of the social, moral and spiritual fiber of the institute's educational system.
Shah Jahan Park
The Shah Jahan Park in Agra is a perfect place for those who want to get engrossed in the pristine air of Agra and are intrigued by the rich history of the town. This garden is mostly visited early in the morning or little late in the evening by joggers and pleasure seekers.
Mehtab Bagh
The lush garden that once lined the river bank of the Taj Mahal may be given new life in this scheme to protect it from the danger of any further degradations. Conservationists believe that the development of a buffer zone of greenery would help to save the place from local air, noise and water pollution. Much of the area for the greenbelt has already been acquired through an earlier initiative to establish a 340 acre national park around the Taj Mahal.
