the concept of the paradise garden (charbagh) was brought from persia by the mughals as a form of timurid garden. they were the first architectural expression the new empire made in the indian sub-continent, and fulfilled diverse functions with strong symbolic meanings. the symbolism of these gardens is derived from mystic islamic texts describing paradise as a garden filled with abundant trees, flowers and plants, with water playing a key role: in paradise four rivers source at a central spring or mountain. in their ideal form they were laid out as a square subdivided into four equal parts. these rivers are often represented in the charbagh as shallow canals which separate the garden by flowing towards the cardinal points. the canals represent the promise of water, milk, wine and honey. the centre of the garden, at the intersection of the divisions is highly symbolically charged and is where, in the ideal form, a pavilion, pool or tomb would be situated. the tombs of humayun, akbar and jahangir, the previous mughal emperors, follow this pattern. the cross axial garden also finds independent precedents within south asia dating from the 5th century where the royal gardens of sigiriya in sri lanka were laid out in a similar way.
