[Summary Plus Entry] Written by veteran Kashmiri archaeologist and numismatist Iqbal Ahmad, this foundational handbook functions as a field guide to the ancient stone remains and ruins of the Kashmir Valley. A major highlight of this text is its architectural breakdown of historic regional palaces and royal complexes. It explicitly logs the spatial layouts and construction styles of Pari Mahal (Srinagar)—the terraced 17th-century palace built by Dara Shikoh—alongside the monumental, multi-tiered Leh Palace, and the grand royal courts of the Mubarak Mandi Palace complex (Jammu). It concurrently maps the region's historic Mughal gardens and classical stone monuments like the Martand Sun Temple [35.5]
