Not very many paddle-strokes – and a short walk – distant from Dal Lake’s floating market is the pictured, “pagoda-esque” mosque.
Srinagar’s older mosques are distinctly Kashmiri in style.
They surprise and delight many visitors – ourselves included.
This post is the final “floating market” chapter in this Dal Lake series.
A later series will showcase Srinagar’s “traditional” architecture, both secular and sacred.
Kashmiri architecture is decidedly eclectic.
Oft-elaborate woodwork is a signature feature, and “traditional” Kashmiri buildings have a remarkable ability to withstand earthquakes.
This current Dal Lake series is about to board a boat that is a deal bigger than any of the lake’s many Shakiras.
