Indian soldiers take pictures in front of a tulip field on a spring day. The Indira Gandhi Memorial Tulip Garden, formerly Siraj Bagh, boasts approximately 17 lakh tulips in over 73 varieties, which are the garden's main attraction during spring in Kashmir, which marks the start of peak tourist season. Thousands of people are flocking to Kashmir's blossoming almond alcoves and tulip gardens, which are described as therapeutic for the scarred psyche by some local mental health professionals.
