This special art exhibition celebrates 25 years of Kargil victoryand bravery of our soldiers.
In the summer of 1999, the snow-capped Kargil witnessed a tale of courage, sacrifice and patriotism. The War of Kargil, a conflict that tested the mettle of the Indian Army, left an indelible mark on the nation’s collective consciousness. The painting exhibition conducted on July 26, 2024 sought to capture the essence of that fateful summer, paying tribute to the brave men who fought for their country’s honour.
The creative strokes of the artists made the rugged landscape of Kargil come alive. Each canvas narrated a story of valour, of camaraderie and of the unshakeable spirit of those who defended our nation’s sovereignty. Echoes of Valour, was not just an exhibition, but a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by our heroes and a celebration of their unwavering dedication to duty.
