Himayat Baugh Aurangabad

Himayat Baugh is a royal garden in Aurangabad featuring fruit trees, water channels, and traditional Mughal garden architecture throughout its grounds. The garden covers a large area and displays characteristic features of this historical gardening tradition.

The garden began in the 17th century when Emperor Aurangzeb ordered the transformation of open fields into a royal garden for the Mughal court. This transformation marked the start of a tradition that continues to shape the place today.

The garden displays Persian design elements through octagonal structures and water channels that reflect Islamic gardening traditions. Visitors can see how these historical design principles continue to shape the arrangement of plants and water systems today.

The garden is walkable with paths between fruit trees and water channels to explore. Visitors should wear comfortable shoes and plan time for a leisurely walk through the garden areas.

The summer palace stays naturally cool through underground construction and water circulation around its octagonal structure. This clever cooling system allows the palace to maintain comfortable temperatures even on the hottest days.
