One of India's most prominent tourist attractions is Dal Lake, situated in Kashmir. Spreading over an area of 18–22 square kilometres, the vast sheet of water reflects the carved wooden balconies of houseboats. The Dal Lake in Srinagar is also famous for its 'floating vegetable market,' the only one of its kind in India and the second in the world. It is an unorganised market where individual sellers gather in the lake's centre during the break of the day and wrap up in the evening. There are no permanent shops on the lake. The local traders conduct their usual business in this floating market with the help of their boats.
