Recently, I visited Aram Bagh which is the oldest mughal garden in India. Located in Agra, Aaram Bagh is also known by a few other names such as Ram Bagh or Bagh-i-Gul-Afsan and is located on the banks of Yamuna river, around 200 metres away from Rambagh Chauraha. Built by the Mughal Emperor Babur in the year 1528, it is situated at about 5 km northeast of the Taj Mahal and 3 km away from Tomb of Itmad-ud-Daulah. Babur was known to be temporarily buried near this place before finally being interred in Kabul. This is a Persian garden, where pathways as well as canals divide the garden to represent the Islamic ideal of paradise, an abundant garden through which rivers flow. The Aram Bagh is known to provide an example of a variant of the charbagh in which water cascades down 3 different terraces in a sequence of cascades. Two viewing pavilions face the Yamuna river and incorporates a underground 'tahkhana' which was used during the hot summers to provide relief for the mughals and their visitors. The garden has a number of water courses and fountains. Aaram Bagh means 'Garden of Rest'. It is also known as Bagh-i Nur Afshan which means 'Light-Scattering Garden'. Some refer it to as Aalsi Bagh or 'Lazy Garden'. According to legend, Emperor Akbar proposed to his third wife, who used to be a gardener there, while he was lying idle for 6 days until she agreed to marry him. Jahangir waited in this garden in early March 1621 for the most astrologically auspicious hour for him to enter Agra soon after he took the Fort of Kangra. Jahangir also made 2 beautiful rooms on the main floor of the garden. The preserved, surviving architecture dates to his reign and demonstrates the skill of his wife Nur Jahan as a garden designer. How to Reach Aram Bagh : In order to reach this garden, one should first reach Ram Bagh Chauraha, from where this place is just 200 metres away.
