Srinagar- Ram Navami was celebrated on Wednesday by the Kashmiri Pandits by taking Shobha Yatra in the summer capital of Jammu and Kashmir amid tight security.
The Shobha Yatra started from the Zaindar Mohalla in the old city and ended at Tankipora after passing through Habbakadal, Barbarshah, Lal Chowk, Hari Singh High Street and Jehangir Chowk.
“We have been taking out this yatra and ‘jhanki’ every year for the last 17 years. Earlier, it was stopped due to turmoil in the Valley,” said one of the participants.
He said that despite being a minority, the Kashmiri Pandit community took the procession with great enthusiasm through the city center.
He expressed gratitude to Kashmiri Muslims and Kashmiri Pandits for their support in holding the procession.
