Pinjore Gardens (Yadavindra Gardens)
Yadavindra Gardens, Pinjore
A 17th-century terraced garden in the Mughal style, with seven levels of terraces, water channels and fountains laid out symmetrically, lit up at night.
The garden was built in the 17th century by Mughal architects and later restored by the Maharaja of Patiala, who named it Yadavindra Gardens. Seven terraces descend step by step along a central water channel. On either side are Rajasthani-Mughal style pavilions, orchards and fountains. At night the garden is lit up with lights and fountains, and it is especially busy on weekends. A mango festival is held every summer. It lies about 22 km from Chandigarh, on the road to Kalka and Shimla. Entry costs about 30 rupees.
