1.1.1 About Srinagar City

Srinagar is the largest city and the summer capital of the state of Jammu and Kashmir. It lies in Kashmir Valley on the banks of Jhelum River, a tributary of River Indus, Dal Lake and Anchar Lake. The city is famous for its gardens, waterfronts and houseboats. It is also known for traditional Kashmiri handicrafts and dried fruits.

1.1.2 Geography

The city of Srinagar is located on both sides of River Jhelum, which is known by the name of Vyath in Kashmir. The river passes through the city and meanders through the valley, moving onward and deepening in the Dal Lake. The city is famous for its nine old bridges, connecting the two parts of the city.

There are a number of lakes and swamps in and around the city. These include the Dal, the Nigeen, the Anchar, Khushal Sar, Gil Sar and Hokersar.

1.1.3 Climate

Srinagar has a humid subtropical climate, much cooler than what is found in much of the rest of India, due to its moderately high elevation and northerly position. The valley is surrounded by the Himalayas on all sides. Winters are cool, with daytime temperature averaging to 2.5 °C (36.5 °F), and drops below freezing point at night. Moderate to heavy snowfall occurs in winter and the highway connecting Srinagar with the rest of India faces frequent blockades due to icy roads and avalanches. Summers are warm with a July daytime average of 24.1 °C (75.4 °F). The average annual rainfall is around 720 millimeters (28 in). Spring is the wettest season while autumn is the driest. The highest temperature reliably recorded is 38.3 °C (100.9 °F) and the lowest is −20.0 °C (−4.0 °F).

1.1.4 Economy

In November 2011, the City Mayors Foundation – an advocacy think tank – announced that Srinagar was the 92nd fastest growing urban area in the world in terms of economic growth, based on actual data from 2006 onwards and projections to 2020.

1.1.4 Tourism

Srinagar is one of several places that have been called the "Venice of the East" or the "Kashmiri Venice". Lakes around the city include Dal Lake – noted for its houseboats – and Nigeen Lake. Apart from Dal Lake and Nigeen Lake, the city is also famous for Wular Lake and Manasbal Lake to the north of Srinagar. Wular Lake is one of the largest fresh water lakes in Asia.

Srinagar has some Mughal gardens, forming a part of those laid by the Mughal emperors across the Indian subcontinent. Those of Srinagar and its close vicinity include Chashma Shahi (the royal fountains); Pari Mahal (the palace of the fairies); Nishat Bagh (the garden of spring); Shalimar Bagh; the Naseem Bagh.

1.1.5 Arts & Crafts

Jammu & Kashmir, especially Srinagar's geographical location has acted as an important transit point between Central Asia, the Middle East and Europe, turning it into a strong site of socio-economic development since ancient times. The city acted as a crucial point of contact and a platform for exchange of art, culture, ideas and technology, thereby assisting in the process of a unique urbanization.

The exquisite crafts of the land are a reflection of the richness of traditions, customs and arts that blend to yield a distinct spectrum. Srinagar, a physical manifestation of that richness, is home to some of the best craftsmen in the world. Brilliantly coloured motifs of Papier Mache on products such as flower vases, pen holders, table lamps and wall hangings, mesmerize art lovers with their details. The finest of Pashmina shawls with their soft colours are

transformed into arresting art work by skilled craftsmen adept at threadwork. The Kashmiri carpets woven from fine wool and silks, with their elaborate and complex designs, are an embodiment of artistry and workmanship, bringing global fame and recognition to the region

Srinagar is a station on the 119 km (74 mi) long Banihal-Baramulla line that started in October 2009 and connects Baramulla to Srinagar, Anantnag and Qazigund. The railway track also connects to Banihal across the Pir Panjal Mountains through a newly constructed 11 km long Banihal tunnel, and would subsequently connect to the Indian railway network after a few years.

1.2 Micro Location/Subject Site

Solina Silk Filatures (Resham Khana) located in Rambagh area, is a unique architectural complex that was set up about 120 years ago by Dogra King, Maharaja Pratap Singh in 1900s. Primarily made of brick, wood and stone it housed almost 2000 silk workers at its peak. The factory has remained closed since about 3 decades and though efforts to revive it were undertaken in the past, they it did not take off. The large complex is an important industrial heritage site for Jammu and Kashmir. In 2017, the complex was brought under Jammu and Kashmir Heritage Conservation Act 2010 (Act XV 2010) by J&K Government1. In June 2018, some areas of the old buildings were utilized for a seven-day art exhibition event organized by Kashmir Art Quest in which 60 artists from the valley, staying in the valley and outside came under one roof for the exhibition. In July 2018, part of the complex was put back to use to reel silk yarn by Jammu and Kashmir Industries Ltd (a State PSU). Originally on a larger site, it has now been fragmented into smaller parcels. Srinagar has seen rampant urban growth in the past two decades and the Solina Complex is one of largest green areas in the city with abundant Chinar and Mulberry Trees.

public space for the city of Srinagar.
