Canal Kashmir Reflection Srinagar
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken circa 1890s, showcases the serene beauty of Dhul Canal in Srinagar, Kashmir, India. The canal, also known as Dal Lake, is a significant water body in the region, famous for its unique houseboats, lush greenery, and tranquil atmosphere. In this image, we see the canal's crystal-clear waters reflecting the vibrant colors of the surrounding landscape. Boats, both large and small, can be seen navigating the calm waters, adding a sense of activity to the otherwise still scene. People can be seen descending the wooden steps leading into the water, suggesting that they are preparing to embark on a journey across the lake. The history of Dhul Canal dates back to the Mughal era, with records indicating that it was first constructed in the 16th century. Over the centuries, it has served as a vital source of water for the people of Srinagar, providing irrigation for their farms and facilitating transportation within the region. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back in time to an era of simple pleasures and natural beauty. The reflection of the trees and the mountains in the water, the peaceful coexistence of humans and nature, and the bustling activity of the boats all combine to create a scene that is both timeless and captivating.
