The land of Kashmir is bestowed by nature in all spheres. The people of this land from ancient times were known by their hard work braveness and intelligence. Men with all merits of life used to live in the land from ancient times; one among them was the great hydraulic engineer of Avantivarman Suyya. With his engineer tactics he drained the blocked water of vitista and reduces the chances of floods in the valley. With his ability and work the people of Kashmir started the agricultural work in newly founded land. Therefore among the Kashmiri people he becomes famous as Annapati. The town sopore then suyyapura, which Suyya built on the banks of vitista, commemorates his name. I’m Suyya, I’m Kashmir: I’m not merely a legend: I’m the nation’s egalitarian spirit: My signatures are on the riverbed of the vitista: My passion was to drain the valley, restore the country to former glory, change future destiny of motherland.
