Although heavy amounts of snowfall create many problems for the locals of Jammu and Kashmir, people have shown how to turn problems into opportunities using their creativity.
The youth and the children are the ones who are most active in this. They carve sculptures out of snow and create a ‘universe’ of happy moments.
The people of Kashmir have shown time and again that there is no dearth of talent in the valley. Their creativity with snow is yet another proof of this.
In addition, Kashmiri artworks frequently capture people’s attention on social media. Several national and internationally famous artists, including Zahooruddin Lone, Tasadeq Hussain, and several others, teach snow sculpture skills to the children. In another step in the right direction, the school administration at the Higher Secondary School Kalshe in the Talil area of Griz organised a unique snow art competition for the students.
The students showcased their talents by making ‘snowmen’ and models of other wild and domestic animals and birds. The school also appreciated the students’ work and awarded prizes to the students for encouraging them. It is noteworthy that this trend of making snow models during the winter is gaining popularity every year.
The world’s largest ice rink in the famous tourist destination of Gulmarg has already gained worldwide popularity. So, at this point, the initiative brought by the school administration is being appreciated a lot.
