Sometimes
it
gets
impossible
to
frame
the
beauty
of
some
places
with
words.
Mughal
Gardens
etched
close
to
the
Rashtrapati
Bhavan
is
one
such
destination
in
Delhi.
Stretching
over
an
area
of
15
acres,
the
gardens
are
a
paradise
in
the
truest
sense
and
is
rightfully
known
as
the
soul
of
the
Presidential
Palace.
While
1917
was
the
time
when
the
idea
of
designing
Mughal
Garden
started
surfacing
in
the
mind
of
Sir
Edwin
Lutyens.
A
leap
of
10
years
from
then,
that
is
1928-1929
was
the
time
when
the
Mughal
Garden
was
actually
given
the
endless
charm
of
flowers
under
the
direction
of
Sir
Edward
Lutyens
and
William
Mustoe,
Director
of
Horticulture.
Talking
about
the
mesmerising
places
it
picks
inspiration
from,
Mughal
Gardens
of
Jammu
and
Kashmir
and
gardens
surrounding
Taj
Mahal
are
the
ones
to
be
given
the
credit.
Apart
from
that
the
gardens
portray
a
commingle
of
the
Indian
and
Western
style
of
architecture
which
can
be
seen
in
the
form
of
English
flower
garden
and
Mughal
style.
The
private
hedges,
lawns,
European
flowerbeds
are
made
to
match
with
the
flowering
beds,
Mughal
terraces,
and
canals
which
all
in
all
make
a
sight
not
to
miss
when
in
Delhi.
While
roses
take
most
of
the
attention
of
travellers
here,
as
there
are
around
159
varieties
of
roses
found
in
the
Mughal
Gardens.
These
flowers
are
named
after
famous
celebrities
across
the
globe
like
Abraham
Lincoln,
Christian
Dior,
Mother
Teresa,
Queen
Elizabeth,
John
F.
Kennedy,
Raja
Ram
Mohan
Roy,
Mr.
Lincoln,
Jawahar
and
also
have
been
named
after
Bhim
and
Arjun
from
the
Hindu
epic
Mahabharata,
Modern
Art,
Oklahoma,
Eiffel
Tower,
Taj
Mahal,
to
name
a
few.
Other
flowers
that
are
grown
here
are
tulips,
daffodils,
hyacinth,
60
types
of
bougainvilleas,
more
than
70
types
of
seasonal
flowers
and
0
types
of
trees,
vines,
and
shrubs.
