Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Concept

Historical place-identification questions are solved by linking a monument or garden's historical names to its documented city and patron. Mughal gardens were often renamed or renovated, so location and naming chronology should be checked separately.

Application

The garden associated with Babur as Bagh-i Gul Afshan and later with the name Bagh-i Nur Afshan is the Ram Bagh or Aram Bagh on the Yamuna at Agra. Official heritage sources place Ram Bagh in Agra and describe it as laid out by Babur around 1528.

Contrast

  • Delhi is associated with Shalimar Bagh, developed under Shah Jahan in the seventeenth century.

  • Lahore is associated with the Shalimar Gardens, commissioned under Shah Jahan in 1641.

  • Kabul is associated with Bagh-e Babur, which became Babur's final burial place.

  • Agra is associated with the Ram Bagh or Aram Bagh complex, also historically called Bagh-i Gul Afshan and Bagh-i Nur Afshan.

Result

Therefore, the location asked for is Agra.
