Religion
is one of the major significance in the three regions of
J&K. While majority of Hindus reside in
Jammu, Islam has quite an influence in the Kashmir
valley. Ladakh can be broadly divided into two
distinct religious zones. The Kargil
district is predominantly Muslim, with the occasional Buddhist population.
On the other hand, the majority of the population of
Leh District is Buddhist, with a few
pockets of Muslims. There is a sizeable Muslim population residing in the
Leh town and a few villages around it.
