It is so exciting to see such historic sites/gardens restored so we can enjoy these past wonders.

I love that the Kashmir gardens were built to be gardens alone, unlike ,as the example you gave, of the Garden of the Taj Mahal. I will eagerly look forward to the restoration of the gardens Dr Jan is working on. The biggest disappointment of my travels in India was the condition of the gardens. Here will be a good reason to return.

Thank you for the interview and links. This might well be useful for my own academic research down the line.

Reblogged this on ΞXPLΞARTH and commented: 'A Landscape Lover's Blog' invited me for an interview about the Mughal Gardens of Kashmir project. The article has some beautiful historic images and photo's from 'LandscapeLovers' recent visit to the gardens, that illustrate ongoing work.

don’t you know that people legally own parts of Dal lake waters just like we own land ?

Kumail,
Thanks for the comment. I have read in several places about the negative impact of these gardens, and understand the risks from run-off adding nutrients to the water and encouraging algae. But I can’t really grasp how they are the reason for the lake ‘shrinking ‘ – is it simply a question of displacement or is there some more subtle impact I have not understood?

sadly, these floating gardens are now becoming the reason for shrinking of the Dal lake…

Thanks for the further responses. Of course not all of Kashmir is as breathtakingly beautiful as these early morning views on the lake, but it remains a magical part of India.
