Kashmir: Garden of the Himalayas is a vivid color photographic study by Raghubir Singh that portrays the legendary natural beauty and complex social fabric of the Kashmir Valley. Through 78 color plates, Singh captures the serene Mughal gardens, the bustling life on Dal Lake, and the mountainous backdrop of the Himalayas. The book is introduced by Singh himself and features a preface compiled from the writings of Jawaharlal Nehru, India’s first Prime Minister, who shared a deep ancestral connection to the region. It stands as a significant historical visual record of Kashmir before the heightened militarization of the late 20th century.
