The rare Floating Post Office is built inside a 200-year-old houseboat on Dal Lake. It was established in 1953 for lake residents and tourists. For decades it has been a crucial lifeline for sending letters and postcards, before SMSs or emails. Serving as one of the over 1,500 permanent post offices in Jammu and Kashmir, the floating office was renovated in 2011 and currently employs three people. EPA/FAROOQ KHAN
