Mughal Gardens

The garden spreads westwards from the Rectangular Garden to the Circular Garden through the Long Garden, which is the only part of the garden with no water channels. Over here, Lutyens designed a delightful Pergola, on which bougainvillaea creepers grow. On the sides, it has separate beds of roses with small trimmed hedges of Ingadulets, creating an effect of coloured knots on a vast carpet.

The gardens end quite simply in the round pool in the middle of a sunken circle. Around the pool are massed segmental and tiered flower beds attracting butterflies. This part is the Circular Garden, also called Pearl Garden and Butterfly Garden.

- The Mughal Garden is located in the premises of the President house. This garden is not opened to public viewing. During the spring seasons of February and March, when the garden is in full bloom people are allowed inside. This garden have some exotic and rare flower plants. The dwarf orange trees and numerous Rose plants are special attraction in the garden. The fountains add to the beauty of the place.

Some of the influences on Mughal Gardens may derive from the Hindu and Buddhist civilizations of India. Others reached India with the conquerors, who followed earlier Islamic invaders (Arab, Seljuk, Persian, Afgan etc). A Turkic language was spoken in Mongolia and the people were skilled horsemen. Their empire functioned as a bridge between West and East enabling the exchange of ideas and technology between Europe and China. The Mongol conquest of Persia led to their adoption of Persian culture, including its religion, art, architecture, script and language. The gardens of the Islamic world drew upon Persian and Christian sources, which themselves drew from the ancient civilisations of Egypt and Mesopotamia. The situation is further complicated by the fact that hardly anything survives of the old garden culture in this vast region. Though written without the innumerable qualifications proper to the circumstances, what follows is a hypothesis which attempts to set Mughal gardens in a broad West Asian context.
