In
form
they
were
a
reversal
of
char
bagh
of
the
havelis;
now
the
green
enveloped
the
building
instead
of
being
contained
within.
A
study
of
the
Indian
landscape
history
clearly
indicates
that
the
central
feature
of
the
pre-colonial
Indian
landscape
design
was
its
complimentary
rela5onship
with
nature
and
an
experien5al
aesthe5cs,
which
encapsulated
the
metaphysical
and
the
physical
and
in
its
resultant
form
displayed
an
amazing
synergy
between
the
natural
and
cultural
ecology.
There
is
much
that
can
be
learnt
from
these
tradi5ons,
pre
colonial
paOerns
of
design
with
nature,
and
contemporary
Indian
landscape
design,
in
its
inspira5on
from
this
rich
legacy
can
and
should
give
us
more
culturally
responsive
landscape
designs.
