Mughal Architecture: India's Heritage 

Like his precursors, Aurangzeb had simply adored garden settings and rewarded gardeners for honourable work. Aurangzeb had built only a few gardens, mostly when still a prince, including a garden and tank in the vicinity of Bijapur as well as one in Ujjain. The emperor, again like earlier Mughals, was taken by the beauty of Kashmir and its gardens, although he decreed in the sixth year of his reign that no king should visit there unless on military or administrative business; the pursuit of pleasure, he believed, was inadequate reason for going to Kashmir. Hence, it is successfully comprehended that Aurangzeb's Mughal architecture was one of splendid and brilliant pursuit, at times filled with dichotomous thoughts of country's well being and yet again plundering in destruction.
