The Amrit Udyan constitutes rectangular, long and circular gardens, Herbal Garden, Musical Garden and the Spiritual Garden

Sir Edwin Lutyens brought together two different horticulture traditions together for the gardens, the Mughal style and the English flower garden. Mughal canals, terraces and flowering shrubs are beautifully blended with European flowerbeds, lawns and private hedges.
