Kashmir's culture is a mash-up of customs from India's northern states, Pakistan's northwestern provinces, and China's Aksai Chin region. The former state has a diverse religious community, which is why Kashmir is known for its cultural legacy, which includes Hindu, Sikh, Muslim, and Buddhist people who contribute to the beauty of Kashmir and have brought about numerous changes in living styles. There are several cultures in Kashmir, and each one is admired by both Kashmiris and non-Kashmirians. The dining culture of Kashmir, known as 'Wazwan,' is a hot issue that everyone wants to discuss. Wazwan is a Central Asian and Persian culture that arrived in Kashmir. The Valley of Kashmir, also known as the Paradise on Earth, is predominantly surrounded by sky-kissed and snow-capped mountains, lush green forests, and exquisite waterfalls, all of which attract people from different walks of life. This research is a small attempt to divulge several key myths about Kashmiri culture, as well as to examine the issues and preservation of the cultural heritage.
