From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sher Garhi Palace is a former palace in Srinagar, Jammu and Kashmir, India.[1] The complex is located in the south of the Old City at the banks of the Jhelum river. It was the residence of the Afghan rulers and Dogra Maharajas of Jammu and Kashmir.

Constructed in the 18th century, it has been continuously expanded and transformed. It is a fine example of Anglo-Kashmir architecture. Fires in the 1970s and the start of the 21st century destroyed major parts of the palace. As from 2015, restoration works have started on the remaining palace complex. An art museum gallery has been opened in the old council building in 2020.
