Taj Mahal Garden
Garden near Taj MahalThe Taj mahal of Agra is undisputedly a masterpiece. It's every feature is an example of this fact. One such delightful and splendid factor is the garden of Taj mahal. It has a superb garden starting from the main entrance to the base of the Taj Mahal. It occupies a huge chunk of the Taj Complex. The Taj Garden takes up 300 m by 300 m from a total area of 580 m by 300 m. The Taj Garden is structured according to the Persian style. These types of gardens were brought to India by Babbar, the first Mughal emperor. The Persian gardens are characterized by flowers and fruit, birds and leaves, symmetry and delicacy which are all found in the Taj Garden. Thus it is unnaturally created by man using intricate geometric planning of nature.
The garden is known as charbagh garden symbolizing the four flowing Rivers of Paradise where one is made of water, other of milk, the third of wine, and fourth of honey. Likewise this garden is also divided into four sections by two marble canals studded with fountains and lined with cypress trees which cross at the centre. These four beds are further divided into 16 flowerbeds each and thus totaling 64 flower beds. It is also said that each flowerbed consists of exactly four hundred plants and thus gives us an idea about the elaborate symmetry involved in designing the Taj mahal.
Beautiful garden Even the trees lined on the sides are a part of the carefully planned layout. There is a tank in the garden where the Tajmahal gets reflected. Moreover it is possible to get a very clear view of the Tajmahal from any spot in this garden.

The layout of the garden and its several other features such as the fountains and the geometric set up has marked similarities to that of Shalimar Gardens . Hence it is also believed that the Taj garden was designed by Ali Mardan, the engineer who designed the Shalimar. The Taj Mahal of Agra is considered as the jewel of Mughal architecture and the garden has a lot of significance in Islamic architecture. It has definite importance and signifies spirituality. The garden represents paradise or heaven as per the scriptures of Koran.
