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.

The musical evening brought together the gems and renowned artists of the Sufi tradition, from across the country, including Vidha Lal, a famous Kathak Exponent, and Vusat Iqbal Khan, a Dastango, telling the tales of the mystics and literary legends through their performances.
