The creation of a “Naya Jammu and Kashmir” and the ancient Amarnath cave sanctuary were the principal themes of the Jammu and Kashmir tableau that was showcased during the Republic day parade on January 26th, 2023 along the Kartavya Path.
Two of the biggest attractions in the Valley were represented on the tableau, the Amarnath Shrine and skiing at a Gulmarg resort, with tulips displayed on the sideways. The decorated float demonstrated the pilgrimage and tourist sites in the Union Territory (UT).
The sculptures of a leopard, Kashmiri stags, and Kalij pheasants were shown in the tableau’s tractor section.
The trolley segment featured women working on a lavender farm, tulip gardens, and lavender production. The centre of the trolley featured the mud homes that were being marketed as eco-friendly housing options for tourists, while the trolley’s back end featured the world-famous Amarnath shrine and ski resort Gulmarg.
After the revocation of Article 370, tourism in Jammu and Kashmir has seen significant growth, in the past few years, and for the first time in India’s 75-year history of independence, 1.62 crore tourists visited the region in one day.
