Nishat Bagh, Mughal garden in Srinagar, India.
The garden extends across 55 acres on the eastern side of Dal Lake, containing twelve terraces with ornate water channels, pavilions, and stone pathways.
Asif Khan, the brother of Emperor Jahangir's wife Nur Jahan, commissioned the construction of Nishat Bagh in 1633 as a representation of Mughal power.
The garden exemplifies Persian-influenced Mughal design principles through its symmetrical layout, water features, and integration with the surrounding mountain landscape.
The garden opens daily from sunrise to sunset, with nominal entrance fees and direct transportation connections from central Srinagar via local buses or taxis.
Each of the twelve terraces symbolizes a zodiac sign, creating a progression of elevated platforms that provide increasingly panoramic views of Dal Lake.
