On April 3, the Shaurya Divas will be celebrated in the honour of the eighth century King of Kashmir, Laltaditya Muktapida, for his valour and victory over Turks and for extending his kingdom from central Asia up to Bengal in east and south India.

The Navreh celebrations will culminate with a virtual address by RSS Sarsanghchalak Mohan Bhagwat to the Kashmiri Hindu community.

The word 'Navreh' is believed to be derived from Sanskrit 'Nava Varsha' meaning the New Year.

This coincides with the first day of the Chaitra (spring) Navratras. Kashmiri Pandits dedicate Navreh festival to their Goddess Sharika and pay homage to her during the festival.
