A typical Shikara is brightly colored and embellished with a rainbow of cushions, a canopy on top to protect from the sun and curtains to protect honeymooners from prying eyes. The huge expanse of water glittering in sunlight captivated me. At a glance the mighty mountains in all their grandeur seem to be meditating in silence since times unknown.
