Jammu and Kashmir (Dogri: जम्मू और कश्मीर; Urdu: مقبوضہ کشمیر) is a region administered by India as a union territory. Before 2019, it was the name of the entire Indian-administered Kashmir, including Ladakh.

Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) shares a border with the states of Himachal Pradesh and Doab to the south and with the People's Republic of China to the north and Ladakh to the east divided by the LOC from Pakistani administered territories of Azad Jammu and Kashmir and Gilgit-Baltistan, to the west and northwest respectively. J&K consists of two regions: Jammu and Kashmir. Srinagar is the summer capital, and Jammu its winter capital. While the Kashmir Valley, often known as "Paradise on Earth", is famous for its beautiful mountainous landscape, Jammu's numerous shrines attracts tens of thousands of Hindu and Muslim pilgrims every year.
