The Mughal Gardens of Pinjore (near Chandigarh, India) are one of the most beautiful and oldest gardens in north India. Often compared with Brindavan Gardens of Mysore, the gardens are laid out on seven terraces which descend gradually. The main gate opens to the highest terrace. The entire garden is encircled by an embattled wall.
The Gardens in their present form were designed by Fidai Khan in the 17th century. Fidai Khan was Aurangzeb’s trusted lieutenant and an architect. He had also built the Badshahi Mosque at Lahore. As a governor of Punjab, he visited this place and got fascinated. He then planned this garden.

Gardens are big and beautiful!
Spraying beauty!
Different altogether from a day visit.
Illumination down and up as well!
Each terrace is designed distinctly
Seems like a runway at the airport
Must visit for tourists going to Chandigarh
An oasis in city!
Garden looks splendid at night in lights
The history of Pinjore is said to be dating back to the days of Mahabharata.
Many fountains in the garden are a spectacle
Built with mughal architecture style
Fountains make an amazin.g effect
Lightening effect!
Lights, water and different hues of colour make a dazzling effect.
Heavenly look!
One of the most beautiful gardens in north India
Each terrace has its own beauty
Its double the joy when moon is shining
These gardens have actually been my weekend escapade since childhood. They’ve been renovated recently and look even prettier now. And, those are some brilliantly clicked pictures there. Good work (y)
