Renowned artist and cultural promoter Waheed Jeelani has extended his heartfelt congratulations to Dr. Darakhshan Andrabi and the J&K Waqf Board for the historic renovation of the revered Hazratbal Shrine.
Jeelani described the project as a “landmark initiative” and a “spiritual gift” to the people of Jammu & Kashmir. He noted that this is the first major interior transformation since 1968, blending modern aesthetics with Kashmiri tradition to create an atmosphere of grace and serenity.
Calling the renovation a dream fulfilled, Jeelani said Hazratbal now stands among the most beautiful shrines in the country, marking a proud cultural milestone for the region. He hoped this effort would inspire further initiatives dedicated to the preservation of Kashmir’s sacred and cultural heritage.
