Art & Culture

In this section, we cover the latest news from the state of Jammu & Kashmir with extensive coverage of the rich Art & Culture that the place has preserved from decades.

While Jammu and Kashmir is well known for its culture and tradition, it has been noted for its fine arts also for centuries, including poetry and handicrafts. Shikaras, traditional small wooden boats and houseboats are always a treat. Dance, drama, music and fine arts date back to hoary antiquity in the state as amply evidenced in the ancient historical records.

Cultural heritage of Kashmir is as multi-dimensional as the variegated backdrop of its physical exuberance which has nursed and inspired it all along. This state celebrates numerous festivals and events with great glory.
