Rambam Garden is the oldest garden created during the Mughal. It is in a great location just 5 kilometers to the northeast of the Taj Mahal in Agra.

The garden was built by Mughal Emperor Babur in 1528. And in Rambahe he was buried before his remains were moved to Kabul. The name "Rambam" comes from the Persian distorted "Aaram Bagh", which means "garden of rest." It is also known as "the Bagh-i Nur Afshan" - "the garden of the scattered light," and "Aalsi Bagh" - "Garden of laziness." It is connected with the legend according to which the emperor Akbar made his third wife sentence in the garden, where she was a gardener, and lay there, doing nothing, for six days, as long as she agreed to marry him. It is also known that the famous Jahangir stopped in 1621. It was in the garden, waiting for astrologers do not point out to him the most favorable time for entry to Agra, after he won the Fort Kangra.

The garden was designed in the Persian style - emphasis was placed on an abundance of sunlight, while in the garden there is a pavilion, gazebo, high spreading trees which provide sufficient shade on hot days. Also part of the garden is divided into lots of cobbled lanes, but in the center there are numerous fountains and there is a pond from which depart in opposite sides of the channels. Persian-style garden is a representation of the Muslim paradise - beautiful garden, through which flows the crystal clear river.

In the garden it was built two pavilions, "looking" at the river Dzhumna (Yamuna Yamuna), which rested dignitaries of the emperor.
