Chashma Shahi Garden چشمہ شاہی باغ

Chashm-i-Shahi or “the royal spring” garden is one of the Mughal Gardens of Srinagar built in 1632 AD for Shah Jahan’s son Prince Dara Shikoh. Located near Raj Bhawan against the Zabarwan Range and opposite the Dal Lake, Chashm-i-Shahi Garden is built around a fresh water spring - its architectural focus - which flows through its center in terraces. It is said that Pandit Jawahar Lal Nehru used to get the water of the spring – believed to have medicinal values – to Delhi.
