Srinagar: Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha Wednesday attended the 'Sufi Festival, a mystical musical evening' at the Botanical Garden, Srinagar.

The Sufi musical festival was organized by the J&K Tourism Department to celebrate 'Iconic Week' as a part of 'Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav'.

Jammu & Kashmir is blessed with a rich cultural heritage, literature, and wisdom of rishis and Sufis and the legacy needs to be shared with the world, the Lt Governor said.
