• ISHTAIQ AHMAD RAINA

Kashmiri sufiyana Mousiqui is a dying art form. The five hundred year old tradition of mystic music in Kashmir is dying rapidly. In the 15th century, the melodies and sensual dances of central Asia were brought down to this Himalayan valley from central Asia, but soon after they may disappear. In the absence of patronage and recognition, sufiyana Mousiqui, or the music of the Sufis/mystics is in danger of extinction; Kashmiri mystical music has suffered an irreparable loss. It has been reported that 138 of the 180aagas, which were referred to in early medieval script, as well as some ancient dances, have been lost forever.
