A Shikhara Ride On Frozen Dal Lake

Parts of the Dal Lake froze as Srinagar recorded minus 4.8 degrees Celsius on Tuesday, January 2, 2024.

Shikaras found it difficult to navigate the Dal Lake as a thin layer of ice had formed over its surface.

This intense cold period in the Kashmir Valley may last until January 31.
