Mehtab Bagh

 This 25 acre garden constructed during 1631 to 1635 alongside the beautiful Yamuna river is one of the most beautiful baghs (gardens) in the city that is a hit among the locals and the tourists alike. The garden is a hotspot because of its exquisite location parallel to the ever majestic Taj Mahal. The garden is also called as the Moonlight garden as it gives a splendid view of the Taj in the moonlit nights. The Garden is not only known for its location but is also loved for being an exhibition of the Mughal Empire’s grandeur. From the fragrance of the varied species of flowers to the cool breeze flowing over the adjacent river make the visitors go crazy. Recently, archaeological excavations have unearthed an octagonal tank which has 25 fountains and a bardari on the east. History and beauty come together beautifully to create a visual feast here, with an aura of resounding peace.
