  Shikaras are a cultural symbol of Kashmir like the gondolas for Venice, and like the gondolas you would mostly see them being used for tourism. But some shikaras are still used for non-tourism related functions like the one being used for fishing in this pic. This pic was clicked in February and therefore you can see some snow on the Zabarwan range immediately next to the Dal too.
