13th July 2010
This was the first of the so called ‘Mughal’ gardens that we went to see. Chashma Shahi. It was July, apparently the season of bloom and the garden was full of flowers.
My mother loves flowers and she was ecstatic, walking about and looking at all of them.
The key feature I think, was the water flowing from two spouts housed in the brick coloured building inside the garden.
The entrance itself has terraces with flowers plants lining each level. You go up the stairway in the middle and enter the garden.
I did not read the history of the place, knowing it was mostly bogus, crediting some Mughal monster who probably snatched this place away from a Rajput king and then touched up the exteriors before stamping his own name on it.
