Outline drawing of a man paddling a canopied shikara boat across a lake with snowy mountains behind

In Kashmir, colorful shikara boats glide across Dal Lake beneath snow-capped mountains, especially beautiful in winter. Here a smiling boatman paddles his shikara with a heart-shaped paddle, its scalloped canopy and tied-back curtains framing cushioned seats inside. Gentle ripples spread across the water.
