is known all across the globe for its amazing natural beauty.
The mesmerizing beauty of
Verinag
village drives a majority towards its alluring views at the Mughal Garden in
Verinag, which is very popular among tourists for the beautifully manicured garden and the natural spring.
Mughal Garden in Verinag is the prime attraction for the visitors. This spring in Verinag is considered as the main source for the Jhelum River. It was originally an irregular shaped pond. Emperor Jehangir maintained the place, made it in octagonal shape. The spring water is as blue as the sky, in which various varieties of fishes live. The spring is surrounded by a beautifully manicured garden. The garden area is very vast yet beautiful. The snowy clad mountains surround the whole garden and the spring area. Artificially constructed streams are made through the garden, from where the spring water flows.
This place holds the significance of religious activities as well. There is a shivling in one of the arcs that are made around the spring. An ancient temple was also made inside the premises of the garden of Verinag.
The weather remains moderate in summers and the temperature does not rise as much as in the city. Winter could be a harsh time as far as temperature is concerned but that does not affect its beauty.
