19th Century Views Of Kashmir – 3 Photos 1894
Three old 1894 photos showing 19th-century views of Kashmir. The first photo shows a beautiful verdant mountainous landscape with a placid river in Kashmir. Three men steer a huge houseboat on a river, and three other houseboats are seen near the shore. The 2nd image is a panoramic view of a valley in Kashmir.
Displaying a fast-flowing river and a beautiful cottage on the left side of the road. The Himalayan Mountain range is seen on the right. The third image displays workers on boats removing weeds from the lake. The snow-capped Himalayan Mountain range is seen as a backdrop. This serene-looking lake perhaps is the Dal Lake. During the time of colonial Raj, for many Britishers Kashmir was their holiday destination.
Did you know – the name “Kashmir” means “desiccated land” (from the Sanskrit: ka = water and shimīra = desiccate).
