SPRING IN KASHMIR

Simple, Quite & Beautiful – Celebrate Almond Blossom in Kashmir

Famous Kashmiri poet Mahjoor praising the arrival of spring in Kashmir said:

“Virkem te tenke batney sule aai jay ratney,
Laeg toer jame tsatney, Gushan wattan chu sonuy”

(Salix and Himalayan Butter cup came very early to take their place in the spring, other flowers yearning to bloom began tearing off their garments to take their lead. Our country is a garden of flowers.)
