The famed Mughal gardens of Kashmir owe their splendour mostly to Emperor Jahangir and his son Shah Jahan, who had an unwavering passion for Kashmir. Jahangir was in charge of carefully selecting the site and manipulating it to meet the needs of the traditional paradise gardens. Although the Mughals never strayed too far from the original form or concept of the gardens, their largest problem in Kashmir was to make the most of the chosen location and abundant water supply. The chosen locations were always at the foot of a mountain, where there was a source of water in the form of streams or springs. Terraced garden plans evolved as a result of this feature.
Nishat, Shalimar, Chasmashahi, Harwan and botincial gardens are the famous ones.
