<P> From the beginnings of the Mughal Empire , the construction of gardens was a beloved imperial pastime . Babur , the first Mughal conqueror - king , had gardens built in Lahore and Dholpur . Humayun , his son , does not seem to have had much time for building -- he was busy reclaiming and increasing the realm -- but he is known to have spent a great deal of time at his father 's gardens . Akbar built several gardens first in Delhi , then in Agra , Akbar 's new capital . These tended to be riverfront gardens rather than the fortress gardens that his predecessors built . Building riverfront rather than fortress gardens influenced later Mughal garden architecture considerably . </P>
