Treasures of Islamabad

The heavenly Kashmir is a symbol of beauty filled with gaint Chanar trees and colorful flowers. The gardens are spread over a vast area of Kashmir and remind of the Era of the Mughal King Jahangir. He was great admirer of Kashmir. Even today various gardens such as Shalamar entice the memory of his love for Kashmir. He also died in Kashmir, but this fact was kept secret. When his body reached Lahore, the news of his death was revealed.

Young Kashmiri artisans created their art work in their own designs, such as they created a new type of Lux-art. They also brought innovations in the work of copper, brass and silver, shawl paper mashi, carpets and wooden work. This was a significant initiative which brought forward the talent of Kashmiri artists. Kashmiri shawls, especially got a worldwide fame. The Kashmiri nation had this talent since thousands of years ago

A POEM ON KASHMIRI CULTURE
O my dear kashmiri nation look what I have
brought to you, it is our lost glory which was
captivated in the prison of time since centuries.
I have had to cross thousands of unending.
barriers to bring these flowers to you.
I explored all the corners of the world to find out.
these creations of the martyrs lost in the miseries.
I have had to cross thousands of unending
barriers to bring these flowers to you.
I have brough back those who had left us or were
annoyed and scattered.
I have had to cross thousands of unending
barriers to bring these flowers to you.
I have brought along the great love and creation
of Almighty Allah as a gift for a great nation.
I have had to cross thousands of unending
barriers to bring these flowers to you.
