This photograph, from a WWII China-Burma-India (CBI) theater collection dated 1944-45, depicts a classic Mughal terraced garden in Kashmir, likely Shalimar Bagh or Nishat Bagh near Srinagar. Rows of fountains line a central water channel beneath towering chinar trees, with snow-capped Himalayan peaks visible in the distance. Kashmir's gardens were a popular rest-and-recreation destination for Allied servicemen stationed in India during the war, offering respite from the demanding CBI theater. Project: 218040
