Pinjore Garden in The Night

Pinjore Gardens (also known as Pinjor Gardens or Yadavindra Gardens) is an example of the Mughal Gardens style. It is built by Patiala Dynasty Rulers.


The garden is in the village of Pinjore lie 22 km from Chandigarh on the Ambala-Shimla road. It was created in the 17th century by architect Nawab Fidai Khan during the early reign of his foster brother Aurangzeb (r. 1658-1707).. In recent times, it has been renamed as 'Yadavindra Garden' in the memory of Maharaja Yadavindra Singh of the former princely state of Patiala.[7] After it was initially built by Fidai Khan, the garden was refurbished by Yadevendra Singh and restored to its former spledour, since it had grown into a wild jungle after initially built due to long years of neglect.[12] The garden has been laid in seven terraces with the main gate of the garden opening into the highest first terrace which has a palace built in Rajasthani–Mughal style.




It is called the “Shish Mahal” (palace of glass), which is adjoined by a romantic "Hawa Mahal" (airy Palace).

  1. Amazing pictures. I really liked your post. Thanks for sharing. Stroll along the stretch of water and water fountains, heavily lined with cypress and palm trees and flowerbeds, and you can actually experience firsthand what it must have felt like to be a king or a queen proudly approaching your palace. Check out more about Pinjore Garden, Entry fees, timings etc.
