Shalamar Bagh means 'Abode of Love'. The garden has a fabulous setting, on the shore of Lake Dal in Kashmir, with the Himalayas as a backdrop. It was made by the Mughal Emperor Jahangir and his wife, Nur Jahan, is thought to have been the designer. A fresh and vigorous stream runs through the garden, supplying its canals, cascades and fountains. Shah Jahan built a black marble pavilion astride the canal, with a throne and a waterfall. It is one of the best examples of a charhar bagh design, with wonderful old plane trees and poplars. http://www.gardenvisit.com/
