Dal Lake in #Srinagar, the summer capital of #Kashmir. Often referred to as the ‘Paradise on Earth’, it has for centuries captured the imagination of writers, poets and film makers and it is integral to the tourist trade. Kashmir has been a contested land between neighboring nations #India and Pakistan since 1947, the year that both countries attained freedom from British rule.
