Ladakh Festival-SINDU DARSHAN

Sindu darshan festival is going to start from 12th to 14th June...Preparations are on in full swing for a three-day cultural festival on the banks of the Sindu (Indus) river in Leh.

Many rivers and river valleys worldwide have played a significant role in the evolution, sustaining and development of civilisations. Notable amongst these are the Nile, Tigris - Euphrates, Sindhu (Indus) and Hwang Ho-Yang Tse Kyang. Mighty civilisations grew up on the banks of these great river systems. These rivers not only catalysed the production of crops but also facilitated their growth of trade by providing convenient transport lines. The mighty Sindhu (Indus) River symbolises the power and permanence of the ancient Indian civilization, which evolved over a period of thousands of years. The archaeological discovery of the Indus Valley civilization, which flourished along its banks, has reinforced the antiquity of the Indian civilisation.

The Sindhu Darshan or Sindhu Festival aims at projecting the Indus as a symbol of India's unity and communal harmony. Whilst promoting tourism to this area, this festival is also a symbolic salute to the brave soldier of India.
Sindhu stands for peaceful coexistence and communal harmony. Sindhu is a symbol of our country's identity and civilisation. The 'Sindhu Yatra' will help forge a bond of unity with those who live in far-flung corners of the country; thus providing them an opportunity to visit the beautiful region of Ladakh.
