Badami Bagh

Badami Bagh or Badam Bagah is a cantonment town on the outskirts of Srinagar in Jammu and Kashmir, India. Established in the 1920s as military barracks on a site containing several ancient Hindu and Budhhist ruins near Pandrethan, the Badami Bagh Cantonment currently serves as the headquarters of the Indian Army's Chinar Corps, with many of the army's soldiers residing here. The cantonment is established on the two road sides of Jammu–Srinagar National Highway, on the banks of the Jhelum River. A c. 8th–9th century architecturally significant Shiva Temple is located inside the cantonment.
