Question

2. Most Mughal architectures, especially gardens, have artificially built water bodies like springs or fountains inside the complex. There was a special reason behind this. Why do you think this was so? Discuss in class.​

Answer 1

Answer:

These influences can be seen in the architectural features and built forms of Mughal gardens, and in the painted miniatures produced during this period. The tomb garden was a distinctive combination of landscape and architecture that joined aspects of the Islamic paradise garden with the Central Asian tradition of garden burial.

Answer 2

Explanation:

The fountains and water-chutes of Mughal gardens represented the resurrection and regrowth of life, as well as to represent the cool, mountainous streams of Central Asia and Afghanistan that Babur was famously fond of.
