Introduction:
The Rambagh Gardens in Agra created
by Emperor Babar in 1528, a couple of kilometres north of Chini-ka-rauza
and has the distinction of being one of the first Mughal pleasure
gardens in India. Laid out by Babur, the first Mughal Emperor,
the Rambagh Gardens are located 3 km away from the Tomb of Itimad
Ud Daulah and 500 meters away from the Chini ka Rauza. The Persian
influence can be well discerned in the layout of the garden
that was designed in such a way as to resemble paradise (in
Islam the garden is considered to be a representation of Paradise).
It is said that Babar was temporarily buried here before being
permanently interred at Kabul in Afghanistan. Its original name
was Aram Bagh (Garden of Rest).
Also known as the Bagh-i-Gul Afshan, the garden is laid out
in the charbagh pattern with four main divisions made by paths
and waterways. A number of fountains, channels and waterways
adorn the magnificent Rambagh Gardens, which draws its water
from the Yamuna River. Noor Jahan, the wife of Emperor Jahangir,
made a number of additions to the Rambagh Gardens gardens, which
have survived till date. Another interesting feature of this
garden is that Emperor Babur was supposed to have been buried
here for a brief while before being entombed in his mausoleum
in Kabul. Babur describes the layout of a garden in Agra.
