Great photos of Walnut wood carving,Heritage of Kashmir

Image
I never knew Kashmir was home to some of the best walnut wood carving  in the world.I've heard that walnut trees are not growing in any other place in India except for Kashmir valley.It's a unique wood for carving in terms of color and flexibility to work on it.The different parts of the walnut tree has different colors.The root has almost black color and is the most expensive one. Wood carving is done on a variety of objects from tables, chairs, writing desks, dining tables , cigarette boxes,  jewelry boxes, photo frames and a lot of other decorative objects.You just name it!

Dal Lake is a lake in Srinagar, the summer capital of Jammu and Kashmir.Dal Lake is named the "Jewel in the crown of Kashmir" or "Srinagar's Jewel". Dal Lake is actually the heart of Srinagar and many people sell their goods, produced by themselves or their wives here in floating markets .They sell everything from flowers,leather goods,precious stone jewelry,vegetables and everything you can ever think of in those floating markets.Once I was going back to my hose boat which I got caught by one of those persistent Kashmir sellers and he could sell me three beautiful bags in no time!

It was I guess the second day staying in the beautiful house boat in "Dal Lake" and I came out to enjoy amazing view of "Dal Lake" and breathe in the pleasant air of Srinagar which  suddenly I noticed some boats were rushing towards me!  Then one of them came to my houseboat and I smiled! That was it! in blink of an eye, I saw one of them inside the balcony of my houseboat bringing some white bundles! But what was it? When I was asking just this question from myself,suddenly I found him inside my houseboat,opening those bundles one by one in front of my eyes! for them one nice smile on a lady's face could mean a permission I guess! :) But with the gentle smile on his face what I could tell him?? I decided to stop being grumpy and just enjoy what that moment was bestowing me!   But " gosh....I loved those stuff! Those were my weak points  and he knew how to press it!  All those lovely Shawls and stones! All those colors! all those beautiful handcra...
