Abstract
Abstract The complex of buildings and gardens known as the Taj Mahal was laid out between 1631 and 1643 at Agra in India by the Mughal emperor, Shah Jahan, as the mausoleum of his deceased wife, Mumtaz Mahal. In spite of its architectural importanee, its buildings have been studied little in detail until recently.1 The garden has been studied even less. The planting of the garden has only reeendy eome into the foeus of the garden historian with the article in a reeent issue of Studies in the History of Gardens & Designed Landscapes.2 The present article hopes to show how the planting of the garden ehanged over time to reflect different pereeptions and uses of the garden. In particular, it hopes to show how these changes were discussed and then effected.
