Srinagar' the summer capital

-
Suvbharat Times, 14/03- Scenic Srinagar, the summer capital of Jammu & Kashmir state sprawls elegantly on both sides of the river Jhelum. This city of lakes and gardens was originally named as Srinagari and was founded by Ashoka in third century B.C. Persian influence over the city’s art and culture was introduced by the Afghan Badshah, Zain-ul-Abidin (1420-70). But most of the city’s formal beauty and it’s fine mosques are a result of the patronage provided by the Mughal rulers. Srinagar was the summer resort of the Mughals, who built gorgeous gardens with fountains, waterways, pavilions and terraces placed between groves of chinar and willow. The beautiful terraced garden was laid by emperor Jahangir for his beloved wife Nur Jehan. It has fine fountains in between and a canal runs through the middle of the garden. The white marble Hazratbal Mosque on the north-west shore of the Dal Lake, enshrines a holy hair (bal) of Prophet Mohammed and is regarded as one of the holiest mosques of Kashmir > Srisai Creation, Bhubaneswar
