Visitors inside the Shalimar Garden with the backdrop of mountains in Srinagar Photograph

The Shalimar Gardens in Srinagar, on the banks of the Dal Lake are very beautiful. The garden has been divided into several terraces to account for the gentle slope of the hill on which it has been created. At the time we went, the water channel was being repaired, but even with that, it was very beautiful. The Shalimar Garden is a very beautiful garden located on the right bank of the Dal Lake in Srinagar, the capital of the state of Jammu and Kashmir. It is one of the famous gardens on the banks of the Dal Lake, located on the slope of a mountain. The garden is supposed to have existed from historical times, but became very famous when it was adopted by the Mughal Emperor Jahangir in 1619, built for his wife Nur Jahan. As a result, the garden (along with other gardens) are called Mughal Gardens. Jahangir was so enamored with Kashmir that he spent a large amount of time over here, using Srinagar as a summer capital for his empire. Over a period of time, the garden was extended and electrified. It is one of the high points of the tourist attractions in the city of Srinagar. The gardens are supposed to be based on a layout called Persian Gardens. However, these gardens were supposed to be built on flat surfaces, while the Shalimar Garden was built on a hill, and hence the garden was split into 3 terraces. The garden covers an area of 31 acres and also provides a great view of the Dal Lake. Running through the center of the Shalimar Garden is a 12 m wide canal that carried water through the garden and flows into the Dal Lake. The garden is full of greenery, with some very beautiful trees.
