Hazratbal Shrine, situated on the left bank of the Dal Lake in Srinagar, is an iconic religious site and a place of serene beauty. This white marble edifice with its impressive dome and minarets is venerated for housing a relic — the Moi-e-Muqqadas — believed to be a hair strand of the Prophet Muhammad. The shrine reflects a harmonious blend of Mughal and Kashmiri architecture, attracting devotees and tourists alike. The name 'Hazratbal' translates to 'respected place,' and indeed, it reverberates with spiritual reverence. Surrounded by soaring mountains and the placid waters of the lake, the setting of the Hazratbal Shrine is picturesque, offering peaceful contemplation spots amidst its lush green lawns and the chinar trees. The shrine plays a pivotal role during festivals, especially during 'Milad-un-Nabi' — the birth of the Prophet — when the relic is displayed to the public.
