Srinagar
Srinagar () is the largest city of the Kashmir Valley and the summer capital of the Indian state of Jammu and Kashmir. It lies on the banks of the Jhelum River, a tributary of the Indus, and Dal and Anchar lakes. The city is famous for its gardens, waterfronts and houseboats. It is also known for traditional Kashmiri handicrafts and dried fruits.
==Origin of names==
Folk etymology draws the city name from two Sanskrit words: ''śrī'' ("glory, prosperity", a name for the goddess Lakshmi) and ''nagar''("city"), which would make "City of Lakshmi" (or, "City of Prosperity").
However, the earliest records mention the name as ''siri-nagar'' which in turn is a local transformation of the original Sanskrit name ''sūrya-nagar'', meaning "City of Sun" (or, of sun god).〔M. Monier Monier–Williams, "Śrīnagar", in: ''The Great Sanskrit–English Dictionary'', Oxford University Press, Oxford, 1899〕
