JOURNEYING THROUGH
While Jammu city's name keeps splashing on news channels, very little is known about its native culture and people. Contrary to the common assumption, the city is actually home to diverse ethnic groups, with the Dogris being a large native population. Over the decades, the state of Jammu and Kashmir has come to be known for the Kashmiri pashmina and their flavour-packed Wazwan. However, that is only one chapter of a more elaborate story of the region. It becomes essential to acknowledge the other half, which remains unexplored. To truly experience Jammu city, one needs to experience its people and the diverse cultures that coexist within its radius.
Dogra culture adds a very subtle and sweet layer to the city with its unique food flavours, vibrant attire, lively music, and softspoken language.
