Quick answer

Khanqah-e-Moula is one of Srinagar's oldest and most beautiful shrines, a carved and painted wooden building on the banks of the Jhelum, associated with the 14th-century Sufi saint Mir Sayyid Ali Hamadani. Its papier-mâché and woodwork are extraordinary. It's an active shrine, so dress modestly and follow local guidance on access.
