Char Chinar, Dal Lake, Srinagar - a photo on Flickriver

The Dal Lake the prime attraction of Srinagar, Jammu & Kashmir, actually consists of 4 lakes connected by a intricate network of canals. The 4 lakes are namely Gargabal, Bod Dal, Lokut Dal & Nagin. Dal Lake also houses 3 island 2 of which are marked with four chinar trees at the four corners, thus are known as Char Chinar. First of the Char Chinar island is located on the Bod Dal and is known as Rupa Lank (Silver Island). Murad, brother of Arunagzeb, constructed the Rupa Lank. The second Char Chinar Island, known as Sona Lanka (Gold Island), is located on the the Lokut Dal, and over looks the holy shrine of Hazarat Bal. The photo taken on a early winter afternoon (about 11:30pm) shows the 4 leaf less Chinar trees of the Rupa Lank or Char Chinar,covered in a blanket of mist.
