Chinar is Booune in the Kashmiri language because the Chinar tree is an essential part of Kashmiri culture. The chinar tree represents the holiness and respect of Kashmir for its prevalence and vivid history. Akbar introduced the Chinar in 1586, and he arranged for the planting of about 1200 Booune trees near the sacred shrine of Hazratbal. The next autumn, the leaves of the Chinar tree changed to red, a beautiful blazing colour. From then on, the tree was called Chinar and has been considered a characteristic emblem of Kashmir.
