Observers stand on a raised stone platform that continues along the perimeter wall, giving a sense that the garden is sunken and giving further drama to the mausoleum rising up in the distance. The garden itself is square, with four paths and pools of water coming in from each of the gates. Also in front of the gate is a long reflecting pool which continually draws the eyes towards the mausoleum. In the very center of the garden, the spot where traditionally one would find the tomb in earlier Mughal garden tombs, is a central fountain. The gardens themselves are perfectly manicured and symmetrical, with lines of shrubbery and trees flanking the approach to the Mausoleum.
