Pinjore Gardens

Chandigarh, India
Located about 20 km from Chandigarh, the Pinjore Gardens, also known as Yadavindra Gardens, are a historic Mughal garden that is a beautiful contrast to the modern design of Chandigarh. Spread over 100 acres, the garden was built in the 17th century by Nawab Fidai Khan, a foster brother of Aurangzeb . The garden is designed in the traditional Mughal style, with seven terraced lawns, a series of fountains, and a central waterway. The lush greenery, cascading water, and historic pavilions create a sense of timeless beauty and tranquility. The garden also houses a mini zoo, a plant nursery, and a Japanese garden, making it a diverse and enjoyable day trip from Chandigarh. The well-preserved structures and the meticulously maintained landscape are a treat for the eyes and a testament to the Mughal engineering and aesthetic sensibilities.
