The Hindu community in Kashmir, along with tourists, celebrated Mahashivaratri here on Wednesday.
Local Hindus, who are a minority in the valley, visited the Shankaracharya temple atop Zabarwan hills here early in the morning to pay obeisance to Lord Shiva, officials said.
They said dozens of tourists also visited the temple to observe Mahashivaratri. Devotees also offered prayers at the Martand Sun temple in South Kashmir’s Anantnag district.
