culture of Northern states how differntiated with that of J&K

Northern states:
1)J&K
2)Punjab
3)Haryana
4)Himachal Pradesh
5)Uttaranchal
6)Uttar Pradesh

If we compare J&K’s culture with the culture of Punjab we found a great difference between the two cultures but similarities too.


Culture of Punjab:
Traditional dresses of Punjab the Turban was the “crowing glory” of all Punjabis whether Muslim ,Hindu and Sikh. Muslims and Hindus have given up their turbans and we found very few of the people from Sikh community following the Turban .Phulkari is the traditional embroidery and the dresses made by phulkai is called “Pulkaris” and are worn by Punjabi women on special occasions and ceremonies.
Making Ornaments and Jewellery is the best and popular art of Punjab. The love legends are from this state only . The music of the state is based on love, romance and separation . Songs like “sundar mundriye tera kon vichara” sing by children on the festival of “Lohri”.
Dance and Darma on repining of crops, performed by men only . The season of monsoon is celebrated a lot because the married girls come to their home for the vacations to meet their family members,friends and relatives ,wear the traditional dresses and swing under the trees.
Jungni is the basically song sing by the men to dedicate their beloved ones. That was the glimpse from the Punjab culture and here we found that themes of songs are same that of J&K’s but a little difference is there in stories behind the songs . Both the cultures believes in enjoying and celebrating festivals . Example the same song sing by children in J&K too on “Lohri” which is basically a Punjabi song. Thus there are some points where one culture matches with another .
