  • Identification and Mapping of Religious Tourist Resources in Kashmir Valley Manjula Chaudhary*, Naser Ul Islam**
    International Journal of Hospitality & Tourism Systems Volume 13 Issue 1 June 2020 ISSN: 0974-6250 (Print) ©Copyright IJHTS ® Exclusive Marketing Rights: Publishing India Group Identification and Mapping of Religious Tourist Resources in Kashmir Valley Manjula Chaudhary*, Naser Ul Islam** Abstract Religious tourism is modern day format of pilgrimage. Pilgrimage is an old practice of travelling to the sacred places such as temples, mosques, churches and shrines etc. Religious tourism mixes pilgrimage and features of tourism and is considered a tool for sustainability, change and peace building among communities. It is particularly important for India being the fastest growing segment of tourism and given the fact that the whole country is dotted with important religious sites and is known for largest congregation in the world as in the case of Mahakumbh. While each state of country has a unique mix of religious tourism but the state of Jammu and Kashmir have a wonderful mix of Hindu, Muslim and Sikh religions sites though it is known more for Vaishno Devi shrine and Amarnath yatra. Kashmir Valley in this state is popularly known for its natural beauty and leisure tourism than religious tourism despite the high resources for religious tourism. This study is an attempt to identify and map the religious tourist resources in Kashmir valley. The nature of the study is exploratory and to find answers to queries raised through objectives both primary and secondary data has been used. The mapping of the sites highlighted that Kashmir has a mixture of different religious attractions and some of these attractions are located in close vicinity to one another.

    SET 93 - HIMACHAL PRADESH Information and Photography by Ronald M. Bernier, Professor of Art History, Department of Fine Arts, Campus Box 318, University of Colorado, Boulder, CO 80309. All slides ©AAAUM/Bernier These photographs were made as part of a research project that resulted in publication of Himalayan Towers - Temples and Palaces of Himachal Pradesh, New Delhi 110055, and they will be part of the forthcoming Himalayan Architecture, a pan-Himalayan study of architecture from the Assam foothills in the east to the heights of Pakistan's Hunza in the west. 9301. The remoteness of many unstudied villages in Himachal Pradesh is indicated by this settlement with bhandar temple storehouse in Simla District. 9302. Arki stands for traditions of the Indian plain, including Rajasthan, as they were borrowed in combination with Mughal patterns mountain kingdoms. 9303. The audience of the diwankhana or audience hall is on the upper floor of the small fortress at Arki, and its open balcony commands a fine view. The dry fresco paintings that are found on the Arki fortress walls and ceilings are lively, clear, and often have folk art directness while they also show an eagerness to borrow imported styles and illusionism. 9304. Arki battle scenes are especially fresh and lively as well as based in historical fact, with British forces appearing to be almost comical in their rigid battle formations. 9305. This floral design in the entry hall of the diwankhana is a brittle and bold variation upon Mughal patterns as it shows the band of a very local artist, no doubt. 9306.
