Geography & terrain

Pinjore lies in the Panchkula district of Haryana, 20 km from Chandigarh and 45 km from Ambala — the Mughal garden of the region, its 17th-century terraces, the fountains and the chinar groves set on the Shivalik's base.

History & culture

The garden's story runs with the 17th-century Mughal era — the terraced garden of the 1660s (the Yadavindra Gardens) and the picnic life of the British era, with the garden's modern role as the heritage stop of the Chandigarh circuit and the home of the 7 terraces and the chinar trees and the annual flower show; the garden's history of the 1660 restoration and the lake pavilions, gives Pinjore its Mughal-garden character.
