"Pari Mahal " - " Fairies Abode " Srinagar , Jammu and Kashmir (pictures/images)

By Alka Narula @narulaalka

"Pari Mhahal " also known as" Fairies Abode" is situated on a hill top of Zarbran Mountain range in Srinagar , Jammu and Kashmir. Pari Mahal  was built by Dara Shikoh the eldest son of Emperor Shah Jahan and was used as an observatory to study astronomy .Pari Mahal , a seven terrace garden ,overlooking the Dal Lake and The Royal Spring  Golf Course in Srinagar  is an amazing splendour of Mughal Arcitecture.The name Pari meaning Fairy always intrigued me until my recent visit that gave a new dimension to my thought process or I should rather say left me wonder weather Pari Mahal/Fairies Abode was visited in the past by extra terrestrials in the past ?
