A History of Agriculture in India v2.c68.5

v2.c68.5

We see the *Bagh-i-wafa* in a painting of the *Babur-nama* in the collection of the National Museum, New Delhi. On the top of the painting is Koh-i-Safed, the snow-covered mountain. Below is the *Char-bagh*, divided into four plots in which oranges are growing. A plantain and two cypresses grow in one of the plots. Water is supplied by a Persian wheel which is painted on the top of the picture (Fig. 21). In another version of the same theme from the British Museum *Babur-nama*, sugarcane and plantains are depicted (top of Fig. 20). These were introduced by Babur from Lahore.
