3Humayun’s Tomb Gardens, Delhi, India
The gardens surrounding Humayun’s Tomb in Delhi are a prime example of Mughal garden design, which was heavily influenced by Persian and Islamic traditions. Built in the mid-16th century, the tomb is set within a vast charbagh garden, divided into four quadrants by walkways and water channels. The symmetrical layout and the use of water to create a sense of paradise are key features of Islamic garden design. The lush greenery, combined with the striking architecture of the tomb, makes this garden a peaceful and impressive example of Mughal landscape design.
