Yemberzal · یَمبرزل · Rawalakot
A living archive of the Poonch valley, told in the voice of its stones.
Yemberzal documents the forgotten Sikh history of Kashmir through field research, photographs, maps and oral testimony. Ten monuments, ten recorded memories — in Pahari, Urdu and English.
Project divisions
Read the archive through four distinct lenses.
Independent public history
Crowd-funded historiography
This archive is built through shared support, field visits and local testimony—not behind institutional gates. Contributions help document threatened structures, record community memory and keep the work publicly accessible.
