The Shalimar Gardens were built by the Mughal emperor, Jahangir, in the lake city of Srinagar.

Covering an area of approximately 539 m by 182 m, the Shalimar garden offers an amazing view over the other gardens, lakes and shallow terraces.

There is also a canal lined with polished stones running through the center of the Shalimar Bagh.

Shalimar Garden was built by Mughal Emperor Jehangir in 1616 for his wife Nur Jahan.

The garden is also known as the "garden of love".

Other attractions of the Shalimar Bagh of Kashmir include a number of fountains, shaded trees and innumerable varieties of flowers that blossom in spring and autumn.

A light and sound show is organized in the garden every evening, during the period of May to October.
