MUGHAL
GARDENS
Kashmir
was a favorite of the Mughal emperors who visited it as
often as they could. Cool and refreshing after the plains of
North India where the business of governance kept them, they
planted gardens with stepped terraces and flowing
watercourses. When they rested in their gardens, they dreamt
they were in paradise.
Dal Lake:
This could well be Srinagar's lifeline and the favorite
site of all honeymooners. The lake itself is full of flora
that includes lotus and water lilies, and avifauna including
kingfishers and herons. Get onboard one of the shikaras to
go around the lake - they come with really pretty names,
example - Honeymoon Lovers, The Paradise, Love Heaven and
the likes! Along the shoreline is the boulevard that is home
to numerous shops, hotels, gardens and parks.
Nagin Lake : Nagin is generally held to be the most
beautiful of the Dal lakes. Its name comes from the many
trees, which encircle the small, deep blue lake. Nagin is
only separated from the Larer Dal lakes by a narrow causeway
and it also has a number of houseboats moored around its
perimeter. Nagin Lake, which is usually thought of as a
separate lake, is also divided from Dal Lake only by a
causeway. The causeways are mostly suitable for walkers and
bicycles only so they make a very pleasant way of seeing the
lake without having to worry about traffic or Shikaras.
Shankaracharya Temple: Located on the Shankaracharya
Hill, this temple is dedicated to Lord Shiva and is
accessible by a flight of stairs. It overlooks the Kashmir
Valley and its inner sanctum has Persian inscriptions. The
original dome-shaped ceiling has been replaced by a more
modern ceiling.
Shalimar Bagh: Built by Jehangir for his wife Nur Jehan,
Shalimar Garden is a wonderful combination of gardens and
lakes. It has four terraces, rising above each other as
steps and has a canal, built with polished stones, that is
supplied water from the Harwan.
Chasma Shahi: Originally designed by Shah Jehan, Chasma
Shahi is a strikingly made terrace garden commanding superb
views of the Dal Lake and the mountains nearby. The cool
spring water flowing here is believed to be extremely
refreshing.
Pari Mahal: This was at one time the Royal Observatory.
Located next to Chashma Shahi, it is a well-laid out garden,
located almost on the ridge of the mountains overlooking the
Dal Lake. Visit it at night when it is brilliantly
illuminated. |
