Aram Bagh

Among the most visited places in Agra is the Ram Bagh Garden, one of India's oldest Mughal parks, which is located 8 km north of the world-famous Taj Mahal. It was in 1526 that the first Mughal ruler, Emperor Babur, decided and laid plans for this excellent park.

One important person who helped restore the Ram Bagh was Nur Jahan, who was married to Jahangir. They laid Babur's body to rest in Ram Bagh for a short time before moving it to Kabul.

The place used to be called Aram Bagh, which means "Garden of Rest." It became Ram Bagh after some time. A design known as Charbagh follows the pattern of the garden, which is renowned for its four-part symmetric forms. It is also renowned as Bagh-i-Gul Afshan.

Who built the Ram Bagh Garden?

Babur, the first Mughal ruler, built the Ram Bagh Garden in Agra in 1526. This Mughal Park is one of the oldest in India, and it's only 8 km from the Taj Mahal. Because the garden is such a lovely example of Mughal building and design, it should be included in every Agra tour package. Its quiet mood and historical importance make it a peaceful place for tourists to visit.

Architecture

They split the whole area into four parts, with waterways and paths connecting each one. Water, which is an important part of Islamic society, was very important for keeping this garden alive. The garden's Persian design features various levels, each serving distinct purposes. Most of Ram Bagh's water comes from the Yamuna River. Three waterfalls on three different floors bring this water into the park.

They grow veggies and flowers on the first level. On the second level, there are flower beds, beautiful stone terraces, and small pavilions. On the third floor, there are different structures, terraces, and reservoirs.

Along the riverbank, cool breezes, thick vegetation, shady trees, and flowing water in ditches and waterfalls make for a very relaxing environment that is a nice break from Agra's hot weather.

The park also has two pavilions and fountains that line the water channels and make for a beautiful scene with lots of plants. Some people think that Jahangir waited at Ram Bagh before going into Agra after taking over Kangra Fort. There are big walls around the park, and at each corner, there are tall towers with fancy pavilions on top.
