01What the data says — and does not say
This page separates the checked GeoNames row for Srinagar—1,206,419, Asia/Kolkata, and source coordinates—from live travel claims. Those fields identify and compare the record; they do not prove current transport, accessibility, census totals, or a City Atlas Club visit.
Wikidata's localized description: city in Jammu and Kashmir, India.
02This city's dataset fingerprint
The source row behind Srinagar is GeoNames ID 1255634. Its recorded administrative path is Srinagar → Jammu and Kashmir → India, and GeoNames classifies the place as a first-order administrative seat. Srinagar occurs once as a primary city label in this atlas sample; the numeric ID remains the durable source key if names change. The city row itself was updated 2025-05-24; that date belongs to the source record, not to every transport or visitor detail in the real destination.
Within the fixed 1,206-record atlas, Srinagar ranks 438 by recorded population. Inside the 109 selected India entries it ranks 39; inside the 632 entries in its broad region it ranks 259. Its 1,206,419 population value is 1.20 times the 1,001,694 median for the country cohort and 1.20 times the 1,008,426 regional median. Srinagar sits in the second quarter of this atlas's India population cohort. Srinagar's recorded value stays within one quarter of the country-cohort median used here. These comparisons describe this selected dataset only; they are not current census rankings or official urban-area boundaries.
Srinagar's three nearest other atlas coordinates are Muzaffarabad at 126.718 km with 725,000 recorded people; Jammu at 150.245 km with 576,198 recorded people; Islamabad at 167.6 km with 601,600 recorded people. The closest-to-farthest distance spread is 40.882 km. Compared with Muzaffarabad, Srinagar's recorded population is 1.66 times as large. Against Srinagar, Muzaffarabad follows Muzaffarabad District → Azad Kashmir → Pakistan in the source. Its point has higher latitude and lower longitude; it belongs to the selected Pakistan cohort rather than India, uses Asia/Karachi instead of Asia/Kolkata, and carries the same first-order administrative seat class. Its recorded population is below Srinagar's. Against Srinagar, Jammu follows Jammu → Jammu and Kashmir → India in the source. Its point has lower latitude and higher longitude; it belongs to the same selected India cohort, uses the shared Asia/Kolkata identifier, and carries the same first-order administrative seat class. Its recorded population is below Srinagar's. Against Srinagar, Islamabad follows Islamabad → Pakistan in the source. Its point has lower latitude and lower longitude; it belongs to the selected Pakistan cohort rather than India, uses Asia/Karachi instead of Asia/Kolkata, and carries capital of a political entity rather than first-order administrative seat. Its recorded population is below Srinagar's. Its nearest-neighbor distance ranks 808 of 1,206 from shortest to longest in the same snapshot. Srinagar's nearest-coordinate gap belongs to the wider half of atlas distances. This pattern can reveal whether other catalog references are geographically close, but it cannot establish whether a border crossing is possible or practical, or whether rail, road, fare, or journey-time connections exist. Read as one record signature, GeoNames 1255634, the coordinate pair 34.0857 / 74.8056, country rank 39 of 109, and neighbor GeoNames 1169607 at 126.718 km bind Srinagar to a reproducible comparison. That combined key distinguishes the row; it is not a recommendation or evidence of a physical connection.
Srinagar's reference point is 34.0857° north and 74.8056° east. The IANA identifier Asia/Kolkata is shared by 109 city rows in this catalog, while the GeoNames class PPLA is shared by 429 rows. Srinagar's row carries both second- and first-order administrative labels. Srinagar's point falls in the middle-latitude coordinate band used by this atlas's row checks. Srinagar's time-zone field defines the narrower catalog cohort; its place class is shared more broadly. GeoNames supplies no elevation for Srinagar, so the profile preserves that missing value instead of guessing terrain. Together these fields form a reproducible identity check for this page, not a claim about walkability, climate or accessibility.
