Nishat Bagh

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Nishat Bagh is one of the three Mughal gardens on the edge of Dal Lake in Srinagar, India. The garden was built for a brother of Mughal emperor Nur Jahan. From the lake edge, Nishat Bagh rises through 12 terraces along a broad central canal toward the nearby mountains. Chadars, sloping chutes, funnel water through each terrace to rectangular pools studded with fountain jets.[1]
