As per the etymological meaning, Kashmir refers to “desiccated land". It is taken from two Sanskrit words, Ka and Shimeera. Ka in Sanskrit means water while shimeera means desiccate). In the epic Rajatarangini, written by Kalhana in the middle of the 12th century, it is mentioned that the valley of Kashmir was a lake before the whole place came into being. While this is the last written piece, there are several other references linked time and over with Kashmir.
