As its name implies, the garden was owned by a prominent Shia scholar known as "Khalil Ibn Ghazi" known as "Mullah Khalila". He devoted the garden to public at the end of his life. The gardeners at the time were trying to revive this national heritage and register it as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The project took five months to complete.
