Not only geographically, Kashmir excels in its cultural heritage too. The lovely people of this lovely land have been known for their arts and crafts throughout the world. Walled off by high mountains and endowed with an unequalled natural beauty, Kashmir remained an inviolate with unequalled natural beauty; Kashmir remained an inviolate sanctuary of Indian culture, till at least the fourteenth century. Buddhism, Shivism and Sanskrit learning flourished in valley and produced a remarkably rich culture till the Muslim conquest over turned the social structure of Kashmir. The integration of Kashmir life was so complete that one of his most remarkable books that Ksemendra, who was himself a Shivite, produced was on the avadanas of the Buddha, a classic later Buddhist literature. Despite its geographical isolation, Kashmir has from ancient times, been a melting pot of nations and cultures. Its magnificent woods, enchanting lakes, rivers, meadows, glorious snow-clad mountains and above all fertile valleys attracted the foreigners to come and settle over here.
