SRINAGAR: The spectacular Dal Lake here hosted first ever ‘Cultrue of Cruise’, a weeekly cultural programme organised by the Jammu and Kashmir Government aimed to bring artists from various fields on one stage.
“The innovative programme series brings writers, performance artistes, musicians, poets and academics together and offers a program of performances, workshops, talks, forums and debates,” J&K Academy of Art, Culture and Languages (JKAACL) Secretary Aziz Hajini said.
The JKAACL in association with the tourism department of Kashmir launched the event yesterday.
Hajini said he was looking forward to hosting such events on regular basis through summer and autumn on the waters of the Lake.
“There’s something really magical about listening to music and talks especially on running waters and it’s wonderful to remember that and to make the effort to organise it,” he said.
In the festival, the organisers would hold regular interactions with cross sections of the society and tourists who visit the lake to ensure broader discourse on cultural moorings of the state. (AGENCIES)
