Kashmir - young girl in a shikara.

No, the girl is not wearing a shikara; the area around and within Srinigar is covered with a network of canals, and these boats ('shikaras') provide cheap and easy transport. The people show no resentment at having their photo taken, and generally offer a nice smile, and never, in my experience, ask for money.
