Darbar Move ▸ Facts ▸ Comments ▸ News ▸ Videos
Darbar Move was the name given to the bi-annual shift of the secretariat and all other government offices of Jammu and Kashmir from one capital city to another, which operated from 1872 till 2021. From May to October, governmental offices were housed in the summer capital, Srinagar, and the other six months in its winter capital, Jammu. The tradition was started during the rule of Maharaja Ranbir Singh in 1872. The tradition was continued even after 1952 by State Government of Jammu and Kashmir, as it acted a major bridge space for interaction between the linguistics and diverse cultural groups of Jammu and Kashmir. In 2021, the government deferred the Darbar Move due to COVID-19 pandemic in India.
