The first-ever Khelo India Water Sports Festival is set to take place in Srinagar, specifically on the iconic Dal Lake. This event marks a significant step in promoting water sports in India and is expected to attract over 400 athletes from across 36 States and Union Territories. The festival will include five water sports—kayaking and canoeing, rowing, water skiing, shikara race, and dragon boat—making it a landmark event in Indian aquatic sports. Srinagar, with its scenic lake and cultural heritage, has been chosen as the ideal venue to host this large-scale sports initiative.
