2 and are said to have cost 300,000/., but for many years have
3 been totally neglected ; and Faqueer Uzeezoodeen tells me, that
4 within his recollection, they were so overgrown with jungle as to
5 have become the haunts of tigers and other wild beasts. They
6 are now, however, kept in tolerable order, and, under the superin-
7 tendence of any person of taste, might be made very picturesque
8 and pretty ; and even: now, when the fountains are all playing
9 and the orange-trees in blossom, their appearance is very eastern
10 and handsome. They consist of three large terraces, inclosed
11 within a wall of about from three to four miles in circumference.
12 There is a small tower over every gateway, of which there are
13 four, and a low minaret at each corner of the wall. They are
14 filled with beautiful orange, pomegranate, and mango trees, and
15 vines, with paved stone walks, and a canal running through the
16 centre, with a large square tank in the middle of the gardens,
17 from which some hundred fountains are constantly throwing
18 water, and adding considerably to the coolness of the atmo-
19 sphere.” The splendid baths built by the Mogul emperor have
20 been destroyed, and fragments of the marble sculptures and beau-
21 tiful mosaic employed in their construction now encumber the
22 walks. The gateways, encased in enamelled porcelain, are still
23 in tolerable repair. Lat. 31° 36’, long. 74° 21’.
