Mughal gardens of Kashmir to be included in UNESCO world heritage sites

Sep 10, 2020

Srinagar, Sept 10 (ANI): Jammu and Kashmir administration started preparing a dossier on the six Mughal Gardens in the Kashmir Valley in a bid to empanel them in the list of United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO) mandated world heritage sites. Locals are expecting that this consideration will boost tourism in the Kashmir Valley. The administration is keenly interested in the development of Mughal gardens. Recently Lieutenant Governor of Jammu and Kashmir (UT) Manoj Sinha issued orders on the upgradation of restoration work of the six Mughal Gardens including Nishat, Shalimar, Cheshmashahi, Pari Mahal, Achabal and Veerinag. Farooq Ahmad Rather, Director, Department of Floriculture, Jammu and Kashmir said, “The Department of Floriculture in consultation with known professional reworked eight gardens of Jammu and Kashmir between 2005-2011. With the help of Indian National Trust for Art and Cultural Heritage (INTACH) survey experts of UNESCO visited the valley to see the heritage value of Mughal gardens. Later in 2011, six of these gardens were in the tentative list of Heritage sites presented by the UNESCO.” A local appreciated the steps taken by the administration. Bhat said, “It is a great step by the Jammu and Kashmir administration.”
