Pari Mahal: The Pari Mahal or The Fairies' Abode is located atop Zebanwan Mountain, southwest of Dal Lake and approximately 5 km west of the centre of Srinagar. It consists of six terraces aligned roughly north-south, with its uppermost point is at its southern end, and arched retaining walls supporting the terraces against the mountain.

The architecture depicts an example of Islamic architecture and patronage of art during the reign of the then Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan. It is a five-minute drive from Cheshmashahi, Srinagar.

Pari Mahal was built in the mid-seventeenth century on the ruins of a Buddhist monastery by Prince Dara Shikoh, the eldest son of Shah Jahan.
