I saw this in a 1973 Nikon School of Photography ad with no caption.

The boats seem Oriental, but the buildings seem European.

Does anyone know where this is? The boats seem Oriental, but the buildings seem European.

Srinagar, Kashmir - old city with river Jhelum. The "temple" is in fact the Khanqah-e-Moula Mosque, one of the oldest mosques in Kashmir.

Here's another old photography, showing a similar view:
