Garden of Taj Mahal, Agra, Tour Packages

The Persian style garden has a close link with paradise, since Qurandescribes paradise as a beautiful garden.

Through the centre of the garden runs the two marble canalswith fountains and lined with cypress trees (symbolising death).

This divides the garden into four equal squares, evoking
the image of Islamic paradise that has rivers of water, milk, wine and honey flow. The stone paved pathways further subdivides each flower bed into 4, making total of 16 flower beds.

The mausoleum, unlike most mughal mausoleums, stands majestically atthe north end just above the river and not at the central location. At the centre of the garden, in the mid of the tomb and the gateway, is a raised marble lotus shaped tank with a cusped and trefoiled border.

The tank has been arranged to provide a clearview of Taj in its water from any point in the garden. The view looks amazing with the reflection of Taj amidst the green cyprus trees .

Water in the canals was drawn from the riverusing purs, a system of drawing water manually from river using bucket and ropes. For irrigation the water from the overflowing canals was used.

The north-south canals had its water inletthrough fountains and east-west canal had its water inlet through an interconnection with north-south canal.
