			TOURISM IN BUDGAM    District Budgam offers many    stunning locales and has       tremendous tourism potential  that has largely remained     untapped so far.      The      attractive    places that can      be  visited are   Doodpather,   Yousmarg, Tosmaidan,   Nilnag and Khag.                                      Kani Shawl in Budgam Kani shawl adomed the caesar's court and was looked upon by Mughals and later by Nawabs as mark of nobility. In 1776 Napoleon presented a Kani shawl to his wife  Josephine and with that took off a new fashion trend in Europe.
HISTORY     In the olden days, Budgam was a part of district Baramulla, when Srinagar itself was a constituent of the Anantnag district. It was then known as tehsil Sri Pratap. Historical record suggests that Budgam was also referred to as Pargana Deesu. According to a well-known chronicler - Khawaja Azam Demari - the area was also known asDeedmarbag.
