Kota Rani was the last Hindu ruler of Kashmir, until 1339. She was very intelligent and great thinker. She saved the city of Srinagar from frequent floods by getting a canal constructed, named after her & called "Kute Kol". This canal gets water from river Jhelum at the entry point of city and again merges with river Jhelum beyond the city limits.
