The Bagh-e-Bahu history is worth knowing. The Bagh-e-Bahu has a very beautiful thought associated with its construction. The Raja Jambu Lochan of Jammu was out on a hunting trip. He was passing by when a quiet unique site caught his eyes. He saw a goat and a tiger consuming water from the Tawi River. What left the ruler dumbstruck was the fact that both of them were standing side by side. The message he could decode from this site was an essential one, the peaceful and respectful co-existence. The tiger did not attack the goat although he could in the snap of a finger be done by the goat. 

The Bagh-e-Bahu fort is constructed on this very site as the King considered it to be a divine signal to set up the base of his new capital here. The King’s brother Bahu Lochan was the one who looked after the construction of the fort. The forest area has been developed into a well-maintained lush green park known as the Bagh-e-Bahu. The garden is visited on regular basis by a lot of travelers and tourists.

The Bagh-e-Bahu has a grand entrance and upon your arrival, you will see a ticket window from where you can purchase as many tickets as you wish. The price of the ticket ranges from INR 5 to INR 20. The Bagh-e-Bahu is a well-maintained garden that has plantations of various types and sizes. Here you will find small plants that have been cut to look like certain objects and alphabets. 

The plantation of the garden will make you want to stay here a bit longer. There is a file of beautiful flowers and small yet charming fountains on the path along the sidewalk. The park is an escape from the hustle and bustle of the city. It is a place that offers peace and calm along with some refreshing air. The visitors who come here often end up staying longer than expected and are seen leaving with a smile on their faces. 

The Bagh-e-Bahu has a terrace garden too which has stunning fountains. There are sculptures in the bagh placed in a small corner. The tiny stoned sculptures surrounded by flowers and trees add up to the beauty of the garden. A huge man-made lake can be spotted surrounded by well-trimmed lawns and flowers. The is filled with a lot of fountains, some of which can be found along the stairs of the terrace. There is a central water canal which looks like a beautiful waterfall in the middle of the huge park. When you view the garden from the top of the stairs you will want the time to freeze at that very moment. 

One interesting feature of the Bagh-e-Bahu is that it houses a beautiful underground aquarium. This is considered to be one of the largest aquariums underground. The entrance is unique because it is constructed in a way that every person walking inside feels like they are walking into the mouth of a fish. The huge fish-shaped structure of the aquarium is visible covering one side of the gigantic garden. It has approx. 13 tiny caves and 24 aquarium caves. The marine water fishes here are kept in freshwater. One enters the aquarium through the mouth of the fish and exists from its tail. The shape of the structure sparks curiosity in the minds of visitors and they become keen about visiting the Bagh-e-Bahu.
