Vegetable Bazaar in Sirinagur, Cashmere, from a drawing by Mr. W. Carpenter, Jun., 1857. 'Sirinagur, the chief city of Cashmere, is now a mere collection of ruinous huts, with the residences of a few wealthy shawl merchants and attendants of the Court. The houses are of unpainted wood (usually the deodar); but the foundations of all the mosques and buildings on the banks of the river are of hewn stone, fragments of pillars, and cornices - the ruins of ancient Hindoo temples. Its bazaars are scantily supplied, except with fruit and vegetables and rice; but a sheep may be bought for a shilling, fowls and ducks a penny and twopence each, and eggs twelve a penny'. From "Illustrated London News", 1857.
