During the Mughal period, the cultural development (of India), amalgamated with the Turko-Iranian culture brought to the country by the Mughals.The Mughals built magnificent forts, palaces, gates, public buildings, mosques, baohs (water tank or well), etc. Besides, they also constructed formal gardens with running water. Use of running water even in the palaces and in the pleasure resorts was a special feature of the Mughals. Babur was very fond of gardens and hence he constructed a few in the neighborhood of Agra and Lahore.
