Villagers in new bright coloured attire throng in huge numbers with music of all hues viz drums flutes, bagpipers and bugles etc for which Bhaderwah and Kishtwar culture likewise HP folks occupy a specific and unique placement in the northern part of India. 

The entire stretch connecting, enroute Kishtwar road, a smaller stretch of barely 16 kms is in a bad condition. The road meanders in the form of turns and twists. In order to enhance tourists/ pilgrims in- flow, the road warrants improvement. The black-topping through out the stretch is of utmost importane to boost ameliorate tourists/pilgrim influx.

Efforts have to be taken to upgrade the facilities. The public facilities all along the route like accomodation, medical and toilet facilities have to be put in place so that the pilgrim do not face hardships.
