The Soul of Duggar Pradesh

Duggar Pradesh — the land of the Dogras — stretches across the Himalayan foothills of Jammu. For centuries, this region has nurtured a unique civilization: the Dogri language with its lyrical poetry, the vibrant Basohli paintings, spirited folk dances, and a cuisine that tells stories of the land.

Duggar Virsa stands as a guardian of this living heritage, bridging generations through technology, education, and community action.
