The Abode of Love on Dal Lake Shalimar Bagh is a Mughal terraced garden on the north-east shore of Dal Lake in Srinagar, Kashmir, laid out in 1619 by the emperor Jahangir for his wife Nur Jahan. Built on three rising terraces, a public terrace, an imperial terrace, and the ladies' zenana garden, it is organised around a central axial water channel, the Shah Nahar, fed by fountains, cascades, and chini-khana niches, with a black-marble pavilion at its head amid avenues of chinar trees.
