Nowshera is the notified area in the municipal committee of Srinagar, in the Indian union territory of Jammu and Kashmir. It is also alternatively spelled as Nowshehra or Noushera. It is one of the oldest residential places in Srinagar founded by Sultan Zain-ul-Abidin. It is located about 9.9 km towards North from the commercial center of Kashmir.[5] [6]
•Aastan Khawaja Habibullah Nowshehri
The history of Nowshera dates back to the time of Sultan Zain-ul-Abidin who established and settled the area as the capital of Kashmir Valley.[7] The ruins of that capital city can be still traced today. Most of the residential places are quite old fashioned and date back to the time when people at the first place settled here similar to one's in Downtown Srinagar.
Nowshera is located towards North from district headquarters in Srinagar. The area is bounded by Soura towards North, Zadibal towards South, Lal Bazar towards East and Zunimar towards West.[8]
