Introduction The culture, language, and traditions of Srinagar reflect a life that of a typical any contemporary, regional Indian town. It has to exhibit much uniqueness with customs, traditions, climate and folklore of the territory, the landscape where it sits. Mostly, the Himalayan Hills are still a maiden mountain space, so different, so natural, simple and very much mystic. Yet a very cosmopolitan Indian culture of Srinagar places this Himalayan valley, the ancient Garhwal Capital differently. The very Himalayan culture intermixed with Lower Northern & Upper Western India's cultures, presence of Nath Sect in olden times, being headquarter to Uttarakhand's some prominent socio-cultural movements, creations in form of paintings (later and now known as Garhwal Paintings) and poetry from famous Garhwal Artists such as Jwalaram and Molaram providing better insights, all these speak of and tell you about Culture of Srinagar. Languages spoken in Srinagar are mainly Garhwali, Hindi, Punjabi and English. |
