Interesting Selects

Wular lake:

View some of Kashmir's marvels, such as the Wular Lake. One of Asia's biggest freshwater lakes is the Wular Lake. But as a result of pollution, plantations, and human activity, the lake's size has significantly decreased in recent years. Wular Lake is situated in Jammu and Kashmir's Bandipora district, some 50 kilometres northwest of Srinagar. At a height of 1580 metres, the lake is encircled by stunning mountain peaks. Wular Lake is exceedingly lovely, and numerous authors have complimented it in their works. The Jhelum River, which flows through the lake, is under the control of the lake. On the lake's southwest shore is the village of Sopore, while to the island's northeast are ruins from the 15th century.

Wular Lake is 16 km long and 10 km wide, but these measurements might change depending on the time of year and the water's level. The lake's maximum depth is 14 metres. It's thought that Satisaras, or large bodies of water, once completely encircled Kashmir (after Sati, the consort of Lord Shiva). By making a hole in the hills close to Varahamula, the mythical Rishi Kashyap (also known as Kashapa) was able to drain the water from the region. In truth, rishi Kashyap, the manasputra of Lord Brahma, is the origin of the name Kashmir. The lake once produced large waves, giving rise to its Sanskrit name "Ullola," which means rising waves. The name evolved throughout the years to Wular.

However, Wular Lake is not India's largest freshwater lake. Although the lake is enormous, it is surely not the largest freshwater lake in Asia, as is said in numerous books and on the internet. Wular Lake once encompassed 217 square kilometres (84 square miles), including 58 square kilometres of wetlands. This was discovered in a 2007 research on the lake conducted by Wetlands International, South Asia. From 217 sq km in 1911 to 86 sq km in 2007, the lake's area shrunk. Agriculture, plantations, and human occupation have destroyed the majority of the region. And this has brought forth a lot of issues.

In Kashmir Valley's hydrographic system, Wular Lake is a key component. The lake basin, which is the source of water for River Jhelum, the most significant river in Kashmir Valley, was created as a result of tectonic action. The lake also serves as a sizable basin for absorbing annual floodwater. The lake receives water from a number of nearby bodies of water, including Bohnar, Erin, Madamati, and Ningal.

 

Dal Lake:

One of Dal Lake's main draws is the floating vegetable market Srinagar. In particular, Dal Lake is captivating. Undoubtedly, one of Srinagar's top attractions is the lake. You may see reflections of the Pir Panjal hills in the large lake's beautiful waters. The entire landscape is breathtaking. In Srinagar, there is an unorganised floating vegetable market. Here, at the break of dawn, lone vendors congregate in the centre of the lake to sell their wares. The majority of the vegetables offered here is cultivated in Dal Lake's floating gardens.

The lake's diverse environment yields a wide range of products, including tomatoes, cucumbers, water chestnuts, and the renowned nadru, or lotus stems, which are a delicacy in Kashmiri cuisine. Other veggies like aubergines, carrots, radishes, turnips, and various fruits will also be present. Additionally, there are persons selling flowers. However, we believe that the flowers are primarily for the tourists.

 

After the floating market in Vietnam's Mekong Delta, the floating vegetable market in Srinagar is reportedly the second-largest wholesale floating market in the world. One of the few markets in India still uses the barter system is this one. When a Japanese photographer included it in a travel publication in Japan in 1960, this floating vegetable market initially rose to notoriety on a global scale. On the lake, there aren't any enduring stores. The little shikaras or boats used by the local vendors are where they conduct business. They arrive to this sabji bazar (vegetable market) early in the morning with their product, sit in front of their little boats, and go about their business. The wholesale sector dominates the market.

 

Early in the morning, there is a rush of vendors and sellers, and by the time it is 7 AM, the traders have finished doing business for the day and are leaving. Once more tranquil, the area of Dal Lake appears as though the chaotic market never existed. Vegetables that remain after sale are typically delivered to nearby street markets. So you must rise very early if you want to see this spectacular exchange of crops. And enjoying a leisurely Shikara ride is the perfect way to experience the early vegetable market in Srinagar Dal Lake. You must experience a stay on a houseboat if you are visiting Kashmir. Make plans for a meal on the houseboat a visit to the vegetable market.
