Mughal gardens are a group of gardens built by the Mughals in the Islamic
style of architecture. This style was influenced by Persian gardens and
Timurid gardens. Significant use of rectilinear layouts are made within the
walled enclosures. Some of the typical features include pools, fountains and
canals inside the gardens.

History

The founder of the Mughal empire, Babur described his favourite type of
garden as a charbagh. This word developed a new meaning in India,
because as Babur explains, India lacked the fast-flowing streams required
for the Central Asian charbagh. The Agra garden, now known as the Ram
Bagh, is thought to have been the first charbagh. India, Bangladesh and
Pakistan have a number of Mughal gardens which differ from their Central
Asian predecessors with respect to 'the highly disciplined geometry'.
