About Mughal garden
- In Babur Nama, Babur declares that the Persian charbagh form of garden is his favourite type (literally, four gardens).
- The charbagh building was designed to be a symbol of the jannat, an earthly utopia where people live in perfect harmony with all other parts of nature.
- These gardens may be found all over the former Mughal realms and are distinguished by their rectilinear patterns, divided into four equal portions.
- All of them are constructed in this manner, earning them the name “Mughal Gardens,” including the ones encircling Humanyun’s Tomb in Delhi and the Nishat Bagh in Srinagar.
- The usage of streams to mark off the garden’s various quadrants is one of their distinctive features.
