India stands as rare treasure trove of pluralism: LG Sinha<\/strong><\/p>\n

Jammu, Apr 15: Jammu Kashmir Lok Bhavan on Wednesday celebrated the Foundation Day of Himachal Pradesh, at Jammu. The cultural evening, celebrating the spirit of ‘Ek Bharat Shreshtha Bharat’, was attended by students, senior officials, and the people of Himachal Pradesh living in the UT of Jammu & Kashmir, who were the special invitees on the occasion.<\/p>\n

In his address, Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha extended his heartiest greetings and best wishes to the people of Himachal Pradesh. \u201cCultural confluence on Himachal Diwas builds the bedrock of a strong nation. When citizens and artists from varied states intertwine traditions, they weave invisible threads that bind civilization together,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Paying tribute to the iconic personalities of Himachal Pradesh, the Lieutenant Governor said that the state’s history brims with richness and diversity and spirituality and rituals anchor Himachal Pradesh’s social fabric.<\/p>\n

\u201cHimachal Pradesh’s sacred earth, cradle of sages’ austerities, abounds in ancient heritage and temples. Pilgrims worldwide revere its every stone as infused with divine energy. The state’s history, indigenous culture, arts, and architecture stand pristine and many masterpieces are untouched across millennia.<\/p>\n

Centuries of traditions have gifted Himachal Pradesh unparalleled folk arts, dances, and songs,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The Lieutenant Governor emphasized that India stands as a rare treasure trove of pluralism with diverse languages, cuisines, customs, and art forms. He urged the people to embrace and share this vibrant mosaic, sustained by endless community celebrations.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe “Ek Bharat Shreshtha Bharat” initiative aptly recognizes cultural exchange as a dynamic catalyst for prosperity.<\/p>\n

When local festivities transcend borders, they captivate citizens and spawn livelihoods. Interstate collaboration equips small communities with platforms and resources to scale their events, amplifying both reach and pride. A village’s art, admired nationwide, yields not just income but enduring honor,\u201d the LG said.<\/p>\n

On the occasion, the Lieutenant Governor also released the activity calendar of J&K Academy of Art, Culture and Languages.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
