Kota Rani of Kashmir

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Kota Rani was the last Hindu ruler of Kashmir, until 1339. She was very intelligent and great thinker. She saved the city of Srinagar from frequent floods by getting a canal constructed, named after her & called "Kute Kol". This canal gets water from river Jhelum at the entry point of city and again merges with river Jhelum beyond the city limits.
