Shalimar Bagh, Mogul garden in Srinagar, India.
The Shalimar Gardens feature three ascending terraces with water canals, geometric patterns, fountains, pavilions, and diverse flowering plants covering 12.4 hectares.
Emperor Jahangir commissioned these gardens in 1616 as a gift for his wife Nur Jahan, incorporating Persian design principles into Kashmiri landscape traditions.
The gardens demonstrate Islamic architectural principles through symmetrical layouts, water features, and geometric patterns that represent the concept of paradise on earth.
Visitors can access the gardens daily from sunrise to sunset, with peak flowering season occurring between April and October when temperatures remain moderate.
The gardens employ an innovative hydraulic system that channels water from natural springs through terraces, creating a natural cooling effect throughout the space.
