Kashmir's beauty in picutures: A shepherd looks at his grazing cattle, 30Stades
Kashmir, nestled in the lap of the Himalayas, is the epitome of natural beauty. Lakes, chinar trees, blooming flowers, clear blue skies, valleys and mountains make Kashmir heaven on earth. Mughal emperor Jahangir (31 August 1569 – 28 October 1627) and his wife Nur Jahan were so enamoured by its beauty that they spent 13 summers in Srinagar with their court members. Srinagar’s Shalimar Bagh was their imperial summer residence and the Royal Court. Wasim Nabi captures the unwavering beauty of Kashmir in the times of Coronavirus (COVID-19):
