    Gardens have been an integral part of Mughal royal life ever since Babur, the founder, laid out the first gardens on the bank of the Jamna. It was an attempt to recreate a Chaghatai world of his beloved Kabul-"in spring a heaven" —in a newly conquered Hindustan, which Babur, in his remarkable Baburnama, referred to as"a country of few charms" with no running waters in the gardens, nor any charm in the residences nor hawa (air), regularity or symmetry.

    It was laid out during Shah Jahan’s period in 1642 AD.
