Nawab Fadai Khan, a great architect and foster brother of the Mughal emperor Aurangzeb, is said to have designed the idyllic gardens as they stand today. Throughout the changing seasons, gay butterflies in swarms fuss faithfully around blazing masses of flowers. Cool, shady walks and flagged pathways run to the outer reaches of the far-flung creeper-festooned walls.
