The highlight of the festivities was the symbolic ‘Ravana Dahan’, where effigies of the demon king Ravana were set ablaze in the evening at the Sher-e-Kashmir Cricket Stadium.

The Shobha Yatra, a colourful procession featuring religious floats, idols, and cultural performances, commenced from a prominent temple in Srinagar and wound its way through the city, drawing a large and diverse crowd.

According to the news agency – Kashmir News Observer (KNO), the return of the Shobha Yatra was met with enthusiasm from the residents of Srinagar, many of whom had fond memories of this grand event from decades ago.

Local resident Suresh Sharma from Indra Nagar said, “I remember attending the Shobha Yatra as a child, and it is heartwarming to see this beautiful tradition return. It is a testament to our city’s resilience and cultural richness.”

Another local resident expressed her joy, saying, “The Shobha Yatra’s return is a celebration of our diversity and unity. It is a moment of pride for all of us in Srinagar.”
