ISLAMABAD- Pakistan Hindu Council, to identify minority non-Muslim holy places of worship across the country, has announced the All Pakistan Minorities Heritage Photo Contest.
The last date for participation in the photo competition being held with technical support by the Press Network of Pakistan is January 31, 2023. The contestants submitting outstanding photos will be awarded prizes of Rs50000, Rs30000, and 20000, respectively, in addition to special prizes and certificates of appreciation.
In a statement, Patron-in-chief of Pakistan Hindu Council and Member of Parliament Dr. Ramesh Kumar Vankwani said that countless unknown historical holy places in Pakistan need our attention. "The land of present-day Pakistan, having thousands of years of ancient history, is full of hidden architectural wonders and unique sites that make up part of our rich heritage. Undoubtedly, these sites are silent witnesses of our glorious past," he stated.
Dr. Vankwani said that God Almighty had blessed Pakistan with a priceless treasure in the form of historical sites, which by paving the way for religious tourism, can not only rid us of foreign debt but also strengthen our national economy.
According to him, an effort is being made under the All Pakistan Minorities Heritage Photo Contest to highlight and showcase the sacred historical buildings of non-Muslim minority religions, including Hindu, Sikh, Buddhist, Jain, Parsi, and Christian communities, which have a glorious past.
Pakistan Hindu Council has asked every citizen of Pakistan, especially journalists and students studying in educational institutions, to actively participate in this photo competition by visiting https://t.ly/TUV6.
