A mozu:r
(or kuli:) is ubiquitous in Kashmir.
The closest equivalent of mozu:r
in the western world is a porter or a redcap. The mozu:r
carries luggage for travelers from various arrival points to the hotels
and houseboats. The government has made attempts to fix their rates, but
bargaining is still essential. In the majority of cases, a tip is desirable.

The dalge:t separates
the city of Srinagar and the river Jhelum from Dal Lake. It also controls
the flow of water from the lake into a tributary of the Jhelum. There is
a gate which has adjustable wooden planks for controlling the flow of the
water. The Boulevard Road, which goes around the lake, starts from the
dalge:t.
