Real photo postcard (RPPC) showing a traditional shikara boat with covered canopy on Dal Lake in Srinagar, Kashmir, India. A boatman poles the vessel across calm water, with a row of houseboats and the snow-capped Himalayan foothills visible in the background. The card was printed on Forte photographic paper, a Hungarian-made brand distributed internationally in the mid-20th century, placing this image in the 1950s-1960s range.
The back is a divided-back format, unused with no postal markings. Light pencil notations (\"785\" and \"1/-\") appear in the upper corner.
Country of origin: likely India (Kashmir).
