The Persian style garden
The lush
green garden expands from the main gateway to the plinth, over which stands the
tomb. The garden in essense is based on symmetry and geometrical measurements.
The Persian style garden has a close link with paradise, since Quran describes
paradise as a beautiful garden.
Water garden
Through the centre of the garden runs the two marble canals with fountains and
lined with cypress trees (symbolising death). This divides the garden into four
equal squares(Islam considers four to be a holy number), 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 at the
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 clear view 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 devices and irrigation mechanism
Water
in the canals was drawn from the river using 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 inlet through fountains
and east-west canal had its water inlet through an interconnection with north-south
canal.
