Landscape Restoration works carried out

Scientific clearance of earth was carried out in an effort to reveal any foundations of enclosure walls, remains of garden pathways, water features etc. Having found no archaeological evidence of the same, and in view of this a minimal charbagh has been proposed. A significant amount of earth was required to be removed from the garden to restore original levels.

Though the original landscape setting has been lost, an indication of how grand the northern gardens would have been is provided by the revelation of rooftop tanks. Rahim, who is known to have built elaborate water lifting structures in Burhanpur would have no doubt incorporated such a system here. In the space available a small formal garden is to be created to allow visitor movement and views to the monument. The garden will be planted with a citrus orchard and other plants known to have been favoured by the Mughals.

Landscape elements includes benches, wheelchair access, appropriate lighting and signage’s to replace unsightly elements found here at present.
