Verinag Spring and Mughal Garden

Verinag Spring and Mughal Garden is a historic spring and charbagh garden in Verinag town, Anantnag district, Jammu and Kashmir. It marks the traditionally regarded source of the Jhelum River (Vitasta). The octagonal stone basin and garden were built around the spring in 1620 by Mughal Emperor Jahangir and completed by Shah Jahan, set beneath forested hills with clear blue water and Mughal arcades.

Visitors can expect an octagonal stone spring tank with clear, deep blue-green water surrounded by arched Mughal arcades and a well-maintained charbagh garden with chinar trees, flower beds, lawns and pathways. The site is set at the foot of a forested hillside. Visitors can walk around the tank, view the spring source, stroll through the garden, photograph the architecture and landscape, and relax in designated picnic and seating areas.
