The gardens of the Moghul period in India belong to a historical tradition of formal gardens. The standard theme consists of linking vegetation, water, and land in an aesthetic and harmonious whole. The origin of Mughal gardens can be traced to the first irrigation systems that was developed. Enclosed baghs or orchards and other horticultural plots were irrigated by narrow runnels of water crisscrossing across. The water had to be brought down the mountains using extraordinary engineering skills to the arid plains by a complicated canal system. The Char-Bagh design means the garden is divided into four lush plots with a network of grids and interlaced with exotic elements like fancy water fountains with bases of marble statues to increase the pleasurable experience. This helped in horticultural production too. The Moghuls were inventive and skilled in water management and irrigation. Water falls, negotiating significant differences in levels falling on to stone terraces creating a magnificent sound and appearance was an interesting early invention. There were four types of Moghul gardens, the Tomb gardens, the Pleasure gardens, the Palace gardens and Plain gardens. The traditional Mughal style of garden design incorporates sunlight and its effects which was also a crucial factor of structural design. Textures and shapes were specifically chosen by architects to harness the light. India’s dry heat makes shade important in gardens, which would be unusable without it. Trees and trellises feature as a biotic shade; pavilions and walls are also structurally prominent in blocking the sun. The heat also makes water important, both in the design and maintenance of the garden. Irrigation may be required and may be provided via a form of underground tunnel called a qanat, that transports water from a local aquifer. Well-like structures then connect to the qanat, enabling the drawing of water. The surviving gardens now face challenges of urban development, pollution, traffic congestion, and lack of visitor amenities. Highways and bridges built close by represent a negative visual impact. However, the grandeur, colour and the fragrance of these gardens lingers around and remains a dominant part of Indigenous heritage and landscape.
