Anguri Bagh is a charbagh-style garden, laid out in four compartments, within the premises of Khas Mahal in Agra Fort. It was built by Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan in 1637 as a place of leisure and rest. The garden was once known for thick creepers of grapes grown and harvested here, which is how it came to be called the Garden of Grapes (Anguri Bagh).
Originally popular for thick creepers of grapes- their cultivation and harvesting, the garden accurately came to be called as the Garden of Grapes (Anguri Bagh). The surrounding structure is composed of fine white marble which was initially painted and gilded in gold and was adorned with exquisite beautiful paintings. The main part consists of a hall with recess and rooms in a surrounding semicircular pattern and a huge courtyard in the front with tanks, fountains and hammams overlooking a spectacular garden which is- Anguri Bagh.
