Mughal Gardens next to Cartwright Hall
In Lister Park, Bradford.
These gardens have been modelled on the fabled Mughal gardens of Northern India and Pakistan. Mughal Emperors commissioned a number of beautiful gardens including the Shalimar gardens in Srinagar, and the gardens of the great Taj Mahal in Agra.
Formal Mughal gardens are a geometric ordering of nature. The avenues of trees, pathways, flowering plants, tumbling water and graceful fountains are an example of fusion between Muslim and Hindu styles. The very picture of tranquility, Mughal gardens usually provided a majestic setting for a mausoleum or a palace.
The gardens here use the same Ashlar sandstone as Cartwright Hall.
