Jammu, Jan 11: In its efforts to revive the disappearing Dogra cultural ethos, Team Jammu along with Jammu Heritage Society and Jammu Dogra Warriors, Chowghan Slathia Welfare Association, JJSF and Vishav Kashmiri Samaj today organized impressive Lohri procession to educate the younger generation about age old traditions of Jammu region. As Jammu region is facing cultural aggression due to anti-Dogra policies being propagated by ruling class since 1947, Team Jammu along with other organizations have taken this initiative with the involvement of youth, elderly and prominent people and representatives from all sections of the society. The Lohri procession that witnessed hundreds of youth, children and elderly, started from historical Mubarak Mandi complex-seat of erstwhile Dogra rulers and culminated at the world famous Shri Raghunath Temple before passing through different routes of the city including Chowk Chabutra, Jain Bazar, Link Road, Purani Mandi, Center Basic School Road, Old Hospital Road, Super Bazaar Market, City Chowk, Kanak Mandi and Rajinder Bazar, Talab Khatikan, Shahidi Chowk and Residency Road. The Dogra attire worn by the participants reminded the elders of Maharaja’s days when such dresses were wore by one and all.
Route of the procession was especially decorated with buntings, flowers and banners. Various shopkeeper associations, from Mubarak Mandi to Raghunath Bazar had set up stalls of water, juice, fruits and dry fruits to welcome the participants who were beating dhols and singing traditional Dogri songs. People welcomed the procession including Nat Manch artists and school children or Environmental Education Institute, Jain Bazar performing Dhandiya at several places by showering flower petals.
