The expansive Mughal Gardens, which span a total area of 15 acres and are considered to be the heart and soul of the Presidential Palace, have earned this reputation. The Mughal Grounds of Jammu and Kashmir, the gardens surrounding the Taj Mahal, and even miniature paintings from India and Persia all served as sources of inspiration for the design of these gardens.

It is a feast for the eyes to come across beautiful butterflies and scented flora. In addition, there is a greenhouse, a nursery, an excellent bonsai collection, and an office for a horticulturist. THINGS TO DO AT MUGHAL GARDENS:

 • Embrace Mughal Garden's most popular features and amenities: 1. In the main garden, there are six majestic mountains in the shape of lotuses, which are said to help purify one's mind and spirit. 2. The Terrace Garden consists of two gardens that can be located on either side of the main entrance. These gardens contain the same kind of plants found in the Main Garden. 3. The Purdha, also known as the Long Garden, is an area delimited by tall walls and features a shaded seating area and a corridor constructed out of sandstone. 4. The Circular Sunken Butterfly Garden comprises circular flowerbeds and fountains have been meticulously positioned around the garden. • Rose is an essential component of the Mughal Gardens: The Gardens are particularly proud of their rose collection, which includes 159 renowned types and blooms in February and March. Among them are Adora, Mrinalini, Taj Mahal, Eiffel Tower, Modern Art, Scentimental, Oklahoma (also known as a black rose), Belami, Black Lady, Paradise, Blue Moon, and Lady X. Other names for these strains include 'black rose.' Some roses have been given the names of famous people worldwide, including Mother Teresa, Raja Ram Mohan Roy, Mr. Lincoln, John F. Kennedy, Jawahar, Queen Elizabeth, and Christian Dior, to name just a few. • Tulips and primulas are the most popular flowers at Udyanostav festival: In addition to roses, the gardens of Rashtrapati Bhavan are decorated with tulips, Asiatic lilies, daffodils, hyacinths, and various other flowers that bloom throughout the year. There are over seventy different species of seasonal flowers, some of which are tropical bulbous plants or plants that bloom in the winter. The garden is also home to sixty of the known hundred and one varieties of bougainvilleas. Alyssum, daisy, and pansies are some flowers that edge and blossom flower beds. • The expansive grounds of the President's Estate are put to use for more than just recreation and leisure activities: Each occupant of Rashtrapati Bhavan has made a unique contribution to the expansive Estate. This project's overarching goal was to make the President's House a more eco-friendly habitat by effectively using available resources and tapping into alternative energy sources. President K.R. Narayanan worked in conjunction with the Centre for Science and Environment to replenish the groundwater supply on the presidential estate to collect rainwater for storage and use. During the administration of C. Rajagopalachari, a portion of the grounds was devoted to cultivating wheat as an act of goodwill toward resolving the issue of an inadequate food supply throughout the nation. Herbal Gardens, Tactile Gardens for the Visually Handicapped, Musical Gardens, Bio-Fuel Park, Spiritual and Nutrition Garden, and more were some of the gardens President Kalam had created as part of his contribution.
