Sindhu Darshan Festival in jammu and kashmir

This is a fairly recent festival which has been conceived to interest more people in the Sindhu river. This new festival of Jammu and Kashmir has been bringing people together since 1997, on the banks of the Indus in Shey, near Leh. Every year, a huge number of participants join in this festival, bringing water from their own states in earthenware pots and immersing these into the Sindhu river, as a way of promoting unity in the country.
