Tomb of the Mother of Zain-ul-Abidin

A Mughal-era stone mosque, built by empress Noor Jehan, the consort of Jahangir, in 1623.

A Sunni mosque built in 1539, and is held to be the first khanqah (mosques associated with specific saints) in the Kashmir Valley. It is one of the best examples of Kashmiri wooden architecture, and is decorated with papier-mâché.

One of the most important mosques in Kashmir, at the centre of Srinagar's religio-political life. Built between 1394–1402, the mosque has been a platform to debate and discuss the complex politics of Kashmir.

This tomb, also known as Roza Bal, is believed by some to be the tomb of Jesus (part of the larger theory that he survived the crucifixion and made his way to Kashmir where he lived until at least the age of 100). It has been made popular by books such as Jesus Lived in India by Holger Kersten (1983) among others. It's down a little side road - ask around, pretty much anyone in the area can point you in the right direction. It was closed in 2011 and sealed, photography and videography are not permitted.

A Sufi shrine housing the relics of saint Abdul Qadir Jeelani (1077–1166) who earned deep reverence across the subcontinent, despite never having set foot in the region.

These beautiful gardens line the periphery of the famous Dal Lake in Srinagar. Decorated with colourful flowers, fountains and mighty Chinars, strolling in these gardens gives one a royal feeling.
