For example, the Aram Bagh in Agra was the first Mughal garden in India. It was designed by the Mughal emperor Babur and reflected his notion of paradise not only through water and landscaping but also through symmetry by including a reflecting pool in the design. He was inspired by stepwells and felt that one would complement the garden of his palace. Many other Mughal gardens include reflecting pools to enhance the landscape or serving as an elegant entrance. Other notable gardens in India which incorporate water into their design include: Humayun's Tomb, Nizamuddin East, Delhi Taj Mahal, Agra Mehtab Bagh, Agra Safdarjung's Tomb Shalimar Bagh (Srinagar), Jammu and Kashmir Nishat Gardens, Jammu and Kashmir Yadvindra Gardens, Pinjore Khusro Bagh, Allahabad Roshanara Bagh Gallery See also Check dam Dhunge dhara Ghat History of stepwells in Gujarat Johad Liman Subak (irrigation) Taanka Tube well Water well Notes References Rima Hooja: "Channeling Nature: Hydraulics, Traditional Knowledge Systems, And Water Resource Management in India – A Historical Perspective".
