While the valley is much in the news, not many people know about the rich culture and traditions of Jammu. And so, celebrating the unique art, culture, heritage, history, and literature of Jammu, the first-ever Tawi Festival of Art and Ideas was held from 25th-27th February 2023. The three-day festival was ideated and curated by Dr Jyotsana Singh (Rajkumari Jyoti), and it was held at the iconic Amar Mahal Museum Complex.
The festival was inaugurated by Dr. Karan Singh on the morning of February 25, 2023. "The Tawi Festival is a three-day cultural event in Jammu, organized by my daughter Jyotsana. It involves music, food, dresses, costumes, technical sessions on painting, and actual hands-on opportunities. And the Dogra language and Dogri food. It's an attempt to present the varied cultural units in India. The Dogra unit has its own place, its own beauty, and its own contribution. So this is what it is all about," he said about the festival.
