Mughal Gardens

The Mughal Gardens of Delhi, a breathtaking piece of lush green beauty located in India's presidential residence, are a sight to behold for visitors to the Indian capital. Mughal gardens are popular destinations for travellers from all over the world because of their lush green plantations, lovely wild flowers, and immaculately trimmed grass. 

The Mughal gardens of Delhi are situated in Rashtrapati Bhavan, the Indian President's residence, and are frequently referred to as the "soul of the Presidential palace." As you wander the Rashtrapati Bhavan as a tourist, you will see the magnificent Gardens. 

The Mughal Gardens of Kashmir and Agra are credited with inspiring the design of the Gardens as a whole. Additionally, there are hints that the finest Persian paintings may have served as inspiration for the building. The majority of the Indian capital's architecture is credited to Sir Edwin Lutyens, who served as the project's lead architect. In 1917, he was responsible for planning the Mughal Gardens' plantation placement.

The estate was eventually settled, but it took some time. All of the garden's plantings had been completed to perfection by 1929. Another partner of Sir Lutyens in the creation of the Mughal gardens was William Mustoe, the director of Horticulture at the time. Sir Mustoe is credited with fusing two separate horticultural cultures and practises making it one of the most intricate yet beautiful gardens that humans have ever created.

1. Spring Flowers - The blooming flowers, trees, and exotic plants dispersed across the Mughal gardens are its main draws. Both visitors and residents delight at the sight of the flowering plants in the spring, when the entire garden is painted in vibrant hues and seems alive.

2. English Look - The European flowerbeds, lawns, and private hedges are some of the gardens' greatest features. These characteristics give the Garden an English appearance since they are characteristics of traditional English gardens that adorned English streets during the Victorian and Elizabethan centuries. 

3. Intricate Design - The Mughal terraces and canals are another key element of this location, adding a touch of Mughal design to the vast greenery. The terraces are artistically sculpted in Man's harmony with nature is preached by Mughal and Persian inscriptions and motivations. The Mehtab Bagh, one of the gardens of Agra, is known for its waterways.

4. Roses - Every spring, up to 159 ornamental varieties of roses blossom in the Mughal gardens. As a result, the Mughal Gardens in Delhi are home to some of the most exquisite rose plantations on earth. Adora, Taj Mahal, Mrinalini, Scentimental, Oklahoma or black rose, Belami, Black Lady, Paradise, Blue Moon, and Lady X are just a few of the unusual rose kinds you may find at the Delhi Mughal Gardens.

The heat and humidity that surround the city make Delhi one of the most difficult cities to travel through in the summer. Winter in Delhi is your friend for the most enjoyable journey. The winter or spring are good times to visit the Mughal Gardens.

The rose plantations, among other flowers, bloom in the spring, so by then the garden is in full bloom. Udyanotsav, an annual celebration that honours the blooming of the Mughal Gardens' roses, tulips, and primulas, will be taking place if you visit in February or March.
