Shalimar Bagh Mughal Garden
Shalimar Bagh is a Mughal garden in Srinagar, Jammu and Kashmir, located on the northeast side of Dal Lake. Built in 1619 by Mughal Emperor Jahangir, it was originally named Farah Baksh (The Delightful) and later expanded by Emperor Shah Jahan in 1630, renaming it Faiz Baksh (The Bountiful).
The garden is considered the high point of Mughal horticulture and is now a public park, often referred to as the Crown of Srinagar. Covering 31 acres, Shalimar Bagh is the largest Mughal garden in Kashmir and features terraced lawns, cascading fountains, and fragrant flower beds, surrounded by the Zabarwan mountain range.
The garden follows the Persian Charbagh style, with three distinct sections: Diwan-e-Aam (public audience hall), Diwan-e-Khas (private gathering space), and Bagh-e-Farah Baksh (Garden of Delight). The Chini Khanas, or niches behind waterfalls, once held oil lamps but now display colorful flower pots, adding to the garden’s charm.
