Chashmi-e Shahi commissioned by Mughal Emperor, Shah Jahan for his elder son, Dara Shikoh, ChashmeShahi was built by his governor Ali Mardan in 1632. Primarily famous for its natural spring, ChashmeShahi Garden is part of the Mughal Gardens, and is a must-see in Srinagar. The natural spring in this top attraction in Srinagar catches the eyes of the tourists. Believed to have been discovered by great female saint of Kashmir, RupaBhawani, the spring got its name from her clan and was originally called 'ChashmeSahibi'. Tourists visit this attraction in Srinagar to drink the water from the spring which is believed to have medicinal properties. It is to be noted, even in the peak summer season, the water from the spring is always cold.
NishatBagh was designed by Asaf Khan, the elder brother of Nur Jahan, in 1633 AD. It is believed that Emperor Shah Jahan on witnessing the grandeur and beauty of the NishatBagh, was so impressed and awestruck that he expressed his gratitude to Asaf Khan three times. Popularly known as the ‘Garden of Bliss’, the Nishat Garden or NishatBagh, is the second-largest Mughal Garden in Kashmir Valley, after Shalimar Bagh and is one of the most popular tourist attractions in Srinagar. The beautiful garden is on the eastern side of the picturesque Dal Lake and is situated against the backdrop of the magnificent Zabarwan Mountains. This surreal garden is a place of sheer delight for nature lovers, family vacationers as well as romantic couples as it offers them spectacular views and a memorable experience.
Shalimar Bagh is the largest Mughal Garden in Kashmir valley and thus is one of the most famous tourist attractions in Srinagar. Covering an area of 31 acres, this garden once served as the favorite summer destination of Emperor Jahangir and his court. This beautiful masterpiece also popularly known as the 'house of love' was originally called ‘Farah Baksh’, which literally translates to 'delightful'. Encircled by tall trees of Chinar and many colorful flowers, the Shalimar Bagh presents tourists with a serene environment. It also boasts a beautifully designed canal that runs through the center of the garden, further enhancing its charm. The main attractions of the Shalimar Bagh are the 'ChiniKhanas'. Oil lamps were lighted at night at these 'ChiniKhanas' which created a dazzling sight. In present times, however, these 'khanas' are adorned with flower pots which are also visually delightful.
