Wood carving workshop on Jhelum river.
Fateh Kadal, Urdu Bazaar.

from the book Irene Petrie : Missionary to Kashmir (1903). Photographs by Geoffroy Millias. Had been trying to find the spot for quite sometime Only other option left is to find Ahmed Joo’s Shop |
Stories from Kashmir |
This entire floor was under water in the flood of 2014
