Pari Mahal, also known as the "Palace of Fairies," is a historical seven-terraced garden located in Srinagar, India. Overlooking the picturesque Dal Lake, this architectural marvel was built during the mid-17th century by Dara Shikoh, the eldest son of the Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan. The garden showcases a blend of Islamic and Persian architectural styles and is adorned with elegant arched terraces, well-maintained lawns, and vibrant flowerbeds. Pari Mahal was initially conceived as a library and residence for Dara Shikoh's Sufi teacher, Mullah Shah Badakhshi.
