Wonderful note about the above image by Man Mohan Munshi Ji via email:
This a very interesting Sketch of Srinagar, Kashmir and nearby mountains as
viewed from Trasr (Charar.) The spur on the extreme right in the foreground
is the Pandrethan /Badami Bagh ridge and darker isolated hill in it’s
immediate vicinity is the Gopadri – Shankracharya Hill and the gap between
the two is the two is Gupkar the site of Karan Palace. A smaller lighter
coloured hill on the left side is the Hariparbat.The white patch between
the two hills is the Dal lake. The mountain in the background on the right
is the Zabarwan- Sureshwati ridge. The one on its left is the Saraba Hill
extending from Mahadeo towards Ganderbal. In between the Zabarwan and
Sarabal ridge is the Dachigam valley /Sanctuary. The Hill on the extreme
left in the background is the North Kashmir Range with Haramukh peak not
clearly visible |
