Santa Claus visited Gulmarg in Jammu and Kashmir after a gap of 17 years as tourists and locals got together to celebrate a 'white' Christmas on Monday.
Locals gathered to pray for peace at a mass ceremony held in the town church. Muslims joined Christians to offer prayers, hoping for an end to violence and bloodshed that has claimed over 45,000 lives in state's 17-year rebellion.
There should be peace, prosperity and happiness in the valley, and I have come here to pray for that, said Sarfaraz Khan, a local dressed as Santa Claus.
