The Garden complex, situated on the opposite bank of the Taj Mahal,
is known as Mehtab Bagh, or “The Moonlight Garden”. Recent excavations
revealed a huge octagonal tank furnished with 25 fountains, a small
central tank and a baradari on the east. The site is also associated
with the myth of black Taj, but the excavations have provided ample
evidence for a garden complex. This is also corroborated by a letter of
Aurangzeb, addressed to Emperor Shah Jehan stating the condition of this
garden after a flood in 1652 AD.
