Visit to Taj Mahal - Taj Mahal, the symbol of love, is adorned with a lovely
garden. This garden is called Charbagh. It is a typical
Mughal garden which divided into four parts. Every part
of the garden is split into sixteen beds of flower.
Other than flower beds the Garden is furnished with
elevated pathways, boulevards of trees, pool and fountains.
There is a marble water tank at the middle of the garden
which is situated in-between the Taj Mahal Mausoleum
and the Gateway. Taj Mahal tomb has a beautiful reflection
on the water of the tank. The innovative design of the
garden was first initiated by the first Mughal emperor
Babur. He was influenced by the Persian gardens. The
Charbagh is a symbolic architecture and meant to replicate
the Garden of Paradise. According to the Islamic view
Paradise garden have four rivers that parted the garden
into four parts North, South, East and West. The first
river is of water and other three rivers are respectively
of milk, wine and honey.
The Mughal charbaghs generally have the symmetrical
pattern where the main tomb is situated at the middle
of garden. But there is a little difference in case
of Taj Mahal Garden. Here the Taj Mahal mausoleum is
located at the far end of the garden. There is another
garden at the other side of the Jamuna River which is
revealed very recently offers a different meaning that
Jamuna has integrated into the garden and becomes one
of the rivers of Paradise. This garden is called Mahtab
Bagh or "Moonlight Garden".
Visit to Taj Mahal Garden, it is almost identical to the Shalimar
garden with same architectural pattern. So it is assumed
that Taj Mahal Garden is also created by Ali Mardan,
the same engineer who had constructed the Shalimar Garden.
