2019
Stephen F. Byrns, President of the Untermyer Gardens Conservancy, delivered a lecture entitled “Paradise Found: the Mughal Gardens of India” on Monday, March 11, 2019 at 6:00 PM at the Madison Avenue Presbyterian Church at 923 Madison Avenue, New York, NY.
Mr. Byrns discussed the evolution of Mughal gardens during the reigns of the first five Mughal emperors (1504-1657). This garden typology originated in Persia around 550 BCE, and took strong root in India, which had a close cultural and religious connection with Persia. The lecture was profusely illustrated with plans, photographs and drawings. Mughal gardens followed three models: located in the country, as part of tomb complexes and as part of fortified palaces.
The combination of great wealth, abundant water and varied topography makes the Mughal gardens of India the most dramatic and richly embellished Persian gardens in the world. The lecture culminates in an examination of the Taj Mahal, the most famous of all Mughal gardens
