Description

A part of India that is associated with the best living traditions of craft, wonderful cuisine, houseboats and shikaras, rushing mountain streams and snow-clad mountains, Srinagar (kashmir) is a garden of paradise. This book explores the history and architectural legacy of this 500-year-old city by bringing alive the rich past with its different eras of rulers who made this a part of their empire. To understand the present context of the city the book takes on a series of walks giving you a chance to get a sense of the architectural legacy, as well as the dynamic interplay of civic life, religion, and trade in the city. - from Amzon
