Srinagar, Summer capital in Kashmir Valley, India
Located at 1,585 meters elevation, Srinagar extends along the banks of the Jhelum River and encompasses the waters of Dal Lake and Anchar Lake.
The city, founded in the 6th century during the Gonanda dynasty, gained importance as a spiritual center under the Shah Mir dynasty from the 14th century.
The Hazratbal Mosque maintains a strand from Prophet Muhammad's beard, while the Jami Masjid represents the largest Islamic prayer site in Kashmir.
