The gardens of Mughal architecture

The Hindu  

A photograph of the Taj Mahal feels almost incomplete without its reflection in the clear water channel in the gardens in front. Emperor Babar, who arrived in India from Uzbekistan in the 16th century CE introduced Mughal gardens in India, as he wished to recreate the beauty of Persian paradise gardens in the subcontinent’s hot environment. Mughal gardens were meant to be a treat for all the senses, with fragrant flowers like roses and marigolds, fruit trees, sounds of flowing water, and birdsong. The layout was planned carefully so that its water channels aligned exactly with the front garden, with an octagonal tank that could reflect the Taj in the moonlight from the other side of the Yamuna.
