Jammu: Jammu hosted two-day Dogri cuisine, culture, and craft festival recently to promote the culture.

The festival is organized by the Jammu and Kashmir Tourism Development Corporation in collaboration with the Directorate of Tourism. It showcased the affluence of Dogri food, culture, and craft, reports ANI.

“Come and get the taste of J&K - the aim behind this festival is to provide local experience to tourist along with it this festival is to revive our own rich culture, which we have forgotten,” said Secretary of Tourism, Culture and Youth Services and Sports, Sarmad Hafiz told ANI here.

“We often used to have a slogan in tourism in Jammu and Kashmir, that you come to J&K and we will show you the world. We just need to revive some of the tradition that we have,” he added.

Seema Malhotra, a local, appreciated the initiative and told ANI: "I and my son have come here, people are taking interest in the festival, we have seen lots of variety of food, we have seen the process of making of ‘makki ki roti’, ‘madra’, ‘Babru’and other unique Dogri cuisine. It is untouched by the world. People should come and get a taste of this."
