Shalimar Bagh, Srinagar Overview
Shalimar Bagh is the largest of Srinagar's three Mughal gardens (the others being Nishat Bagh and Chashme Shahi), built in 1619 by Emperor Jahangir for his wife Nur Jahan. Overlooking Dal Lake, it's now a public park known as the 'crown of Srinagar'.
The chini khanas or arched niches placed behind waterfalls and the chinar trees are the highlights here. The term 'Shalimar' is a Sanskrit word meaning 'Abode of Love' and is known by several other names such as Faiz Baksh and Farah Baksh. Sprinkled generously with well-trimmed gardens and exquisite architecture, Shalimar Garden is a gentle blend of natural allure and man-made structures. Exhibiting the exemplary craftsmanship of Mughals in horticulture, the Mughal garden is quite popular with tourists from all over the world.
