A garden situated on the bank of the Yamuna River, abound with ruins of the Mughal era, a short distance north of Ram Bagh, is the Buland Bagh. The remains of the structures of Chhatris, including a tall tower called Battis Khamba, are located on the side of the old Mughal garden. The tower is hidden in plain sight, easy to miss amid the overgrown shrubs and the other old ruins of the garden. Buland Khan, a eunuch of Emperor Jahangir's court, was said to have built the Chhatris and the garden between A.D. 1606-23.
