Dive into the captivating world of Noha, a centuries-old cultural tradition rooted in the heart of Kashmir. In this video, we embark on a journey to uncover the unique customs and rituals that have been passed down through generations, shaping the identity of this remarkable region.

Noha, a form of elegiac poetry and recitation, is a deeply significant aspect of Kashmiri culture, particularly among the Shia Muslim community. This evocative practice serves as a means of mourning and commemorating the martyrdom of Imam Hussain, a revered figure in Islam.

Join us as we unravel the layers of Noha, unveiling the deep-rooted connections between this artistic expression and the rich cultural identity of Kashmir. Discover the resilience and beauty of a tradition that continues to captivate and inspire generations of Kashmiris.
