}}Anantnag (/ə'nʌntna:g/ or /-nɑːg/ {{audio|Anantnag̜ Pronunciation.ogg|listen}}; {{lang-ks|{{IAST|anantnāg}}}}; {{abbr|lit.|literally}} "Countless springs"[1]) is a city and a municipality, capital of the Anantnag district in the Indian state of Jammu and Kashmir. Anantnag is located at a distance of 53 kilometres (33 miles) from the state's capital Srinagar. It is the third largest city in Jammu and Kashmir after Srinagar and Jammu with an urban agglomerate population of more than 200,000 and municipal limit population over 100,000.[2]

Etymology

The name Anantnag is thought to originate from the Sanskrit term ananta, meaning "infinite", and Kashmiri word naga, "water spring"; Anantnag would thus mean "numerous springs", as there are indeed many springs in the town. According to Marc Aurel Stein, however, the name of the city comes from the name of the spring of Shesha Nag, the "Divine Serpent" in Hindu theology, who was also called Anantnag; the spring located in the town.[3] This is also corroborated by almost all local historians including Kalhana, according to whom the city has taken the name of the spring of Shesha Nag also known as Ananta Nag.{{Citation needed|date=June 2018}}

It was also formerly called Islamabad by Muslims in the area as an identity statement.[4] The name Islamabad is believed to have derived from the name of a Mughal governor Islam Khan who built a garden in the area.[5][6]

Both names were used for the town, Anantnag being preferred by the Hindus and Sikhs and Islamabad being preferred by the Muslims. The district surrounding the town was called the Islamabad district until the 1950s when Bakshi Ghulam Mohammad administration changed it to "Anantnag district". The locals continue to use the name "Islamabad", even though the Indian security forces deployed in the area with the start of Kashmir insurgency frowned on its use.[4][5][7]
