About: Mazar-e-Shura

An Entity of Type: place, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Mazar-e-Shura (Kashmiri: मज़ार-ए-शायरा (Devanagari), مزارِ شُعاراء (Nastaleeq); transliteration: Mazār-i Shuʿārā, translation: The Cemetery of Poets) is a cemetery on a small hill by the main road in Dalgate, an area of Srinagar, Jammu and Kashmir in India. Founded in the reign of the Mughul emperor Akbar the Great, it was built in a scenic location on the banks of the Dal Lake as a cemetery for eminent poets. Historical records show that there were five poets and men of letters buried in the cemetery, all natives of Iran who emigrated to India and were associated with the Mughal court. Only three tombstones are now visible as the place is neglected, overrun by weeds and littered with rubbish. One of the tombstones bears an inscription that is only partially legible.
