ABOUT JAMMU CULTURE

HOLLY CITY JAMMU IS KNOWN FOR ITS TEMPLE LIKE VAISHNO DEVI ,BAWWA WALI MATTA ,MACHEL MATTA ,AMMARNATH  AND MANY MORE TEMPLE AND PEACE PLACES.

THE VARIOUS CULTURE ARE DESCRIBED AS FOLLOWS:-

  • Dogras : The Dogras constitute the dominant group. They are mainly concentrated in the outer hill and outer plain zones covering Kathua, Udhampur and Jammu districts and the lower parts of Rajouri district. A martial community by tradition, their folklore centres on eulogies for war heroes, both legendary and historical. Even the region's architectural heritage, comprising elaborate castles and hilltop fortifications that are visible everywhere, bespeak the community' s long-drawn preoccupation with battles and ruling of distant lands. Yet the region's history is not completely bereft of traditions of art and culture. 
  •  
  • Gujjars : The second largest ethnic group of the region is formed by the Gujjars, a semi-nomadic people living along the hill slopes of Doda and Rajouri districts while in Poonch they also dominate the main valleys .

  • Bakkarwals : The most interesting ethnic community, however, is that of the Bakkarwals, a wholly nomadic pastoral people who move all along the Himalayan slopes from the south to the north, always in search of pastures for their huge flocks of goat and sheep. Every summer, they move en-block across the various mountain ranges as far as the Suru Valley in the Ladakh region.
