On the Indian side of the LOC, Islam is clearly dominant in Kashmir, is also the leading faith in three of the six districts of Jammu, and accounts for a large majority of the population in the Kargil tahsil of Kargil district. Hinduism, the second most numerous faith, accounts for a majority ofthe population in the three southernmost districts of Jammuand in that region as a whole. Followers of the Tibetan form of Buddhism are a decided majority in the large, but thinly populated district of Leh and in Zanskar tahsil in the southern part of Kargil district.

TheKashmiri languageis the main language spoken in Kashmir, although many other Indo-Aryan languages are also prevalent. Kashmiri literature has a rich history stretching back to hundreds of years.

Jammu's Dogra culture and tradition is very different from the Kashmiri culture. The Dogra culture is instead much similar to that of neighbouringPunjabandHimachal Pradesh. Traditional Punjabi festivals such asLohriandBaisakhiare celebrated with great zeal and enthusiasm throughout the region, along withAccession Day, an annual holiday which commemorates the accession of Jammu & Kashmir to the Dominion of India. ]After Dogras,Gujjarsform the second-largest ethnic group in Jammu. Known for their semi-nomadic lifestyle, Gujjars are also found in large numbers in the Kashmir valley. Similar to Gujjars,Gaddisare primarily herdsmen who hail from the Chamba region in Himachal Pradesh. Gaddis are generally associated with emotive music played on theflute. TheBakkarwalas found both in Jammu and the outskirts of the Vale of Kashmir are wholly nomadic pastoral people who move along the Himalayan slopes in search for pastures for their huge flocks of goats and sheep.

This language is spoken only in the Valley of Kashmir by the Kashmiri Pandits and Kashmiri Muslims. Besides language, the Kashmiri cuisine and culture has been greatly influenced by Central Asian and Persian cultures for both communities. Cultural music and dance like Wanvun, Rouf, carpet/shawl weaving and Koshur Sufiana forms a very important part of kashmiri identity. It is important to notethat Kashmiri culture is predominantly only in theValley of Kashmir. The other regions of the Larger J&K state, such as Jammu and Ladakh are very different from Kashmir.TheDumhalis a famous dance in the Kashmir valley, performed by men of the Wattal region.
