About Mughal garden: Although Sir Edwin Lutyens completed the Amrit Udyan’s designs as early as 1917, plantings weren’t completed until 1928–1929. William Mustoe, director of horticulture, worked with him on the gardens, the passage emphasises. Similar to how Rashtrapati Bhavan combines the western and Indian architectural styles in its construction, Sir Lutyens used the Mughal and English flower gardens as the two main horticulture traditions for the gardens. Beautifully blending with European flowerbeds, lawns, and private hedges are Mughal canals, terraces, and floral plants.
