EDITORS COMMENTS
Amidst the tranquil waters of the River Jhelum in Srinagar, Kashmir, a mother skillfully navigates her traditional wooden boat, or shikara, while her two young children gaze out at the breathtaking Himalayan landscapes that surround them. The shikara, a flat-bottomed, rectangular boat with a covered roof, is a common means of transportation and sightseeing in the region. The mother's focus is unwavering as she expertly paddles with long oars, steering the boat through the calm waters. The children, bundled up against the cool breeze, seem to be in awe of the beautiful scenery that unfolds before them. The shikara glides effortlessly through the water, surrounded by lush greenery and reeds, providing a serene and idyllic scene. The rugged houses and buildings along the riverbanks are made of various materials, reflecting the unique architecture of the region. The majestic Himalayas loom in the background, adding to the breathtaking beauty of this scene captured in 1986.
