The garden across river Yamuna called Mehtab Bagh is flooded now and decided by authorities to shut it down for visitors.
Mehtab Bagh is one of the earliest Mughal Garden laid by first Mughal emperor Zaheer Uddin Mohd Babur behind the Taj Mahal across river Yamuna.
About this garden we have a popular myth that it is the same site where fifth Mughal emperor Shahjahan planned a Black Taj Mahal for his own tomb.
Water level in river Yamuna is so high and has crossed danger level.
Mehtab Bagh is closed for visitors for an indefinite period.

Photograph of Buland Darwaza, the gateway of Fatehpur Sikri. The large gateway is in the Mughal architectural style with a central vaulted recess known as an iwan and high walls to either side. Other smaller buildings, some ruined, can be seen in the foreground.

This is one of a series of photographs of Agra by Dr John Murray which were published in a volume with accompanying captions by J Middleton. Murray was an East India Company doctor who used waxed-paper negatives to produce photographs of the Mughal architecture of Agra and the surrounding area.

Bagh e Noor Afsha'n
(The Garden of glittering divine light)
One of early Mughal Garden in Agra, India laid by first Mughal emperor Zaheer Uddin Mohd Babur.
Emperor Babur's mortal remains kept here for public viewing and then transported to Kabul (Afghanistan) for final burial.
Now nobody calls it Bagh e Noor Afsha'n but in course of time people started calling it Aram Bagh (garden of rest) because emperor Babur's mortal remains were kept and now it is corrupted as Ram Bagh.

WORLD CAMEL DAY 🐪
Camel (Latin : camelus) is an even-toed ungulate in the genus Camelus that bears distinctive fatty deposits known as "humps" on its back. Camels have long been domesticated and, as livestock, they provide food (milk and meat) and textiles (fiber and felt from hair).
Camels are working animals especially suited to their desert habitat and are a vital means of transport for passengers and cargo. There are three surviving species of camel. The one-humped dromedary makes up 94% of the world's camel population, and the two-humped Bactrian camel makes up 6%. The wild Bactrian camel is a separate species and is now critically endangered.
