Persian Gardens

Persian gardens are a traditional form of garden design originating from Persia (modern-day Iran), characterized by their structured layout and symbolic elements. Typically, they feature a rectangular shape divided by paths or water channels, representing the four rivers of paradise in Islamic culture. These gardens often include a variety of trees, flowers, and water features, creating a serene and harmonious environment. They emphasize balance between nature and architecture, reflecting the Persian philosophy of beauty and tranquility. Notable examples include the gardens of the Taj Mahal and those found in historic Persian palaces.
