SRINAGAR, PTI: The Buddhist spiritual leader, His Holiness the Dalai Lama, on a six-day visit to Kashmir Valley, today (17 July) paid obeisance at religious places of different faiths in the city. The Dalai Lama also visited the mausoleum of Shiekh Mohammad Abdullah, the founder of the National Conference and the grandfather of Chief Minister Omar Abdullah.

He visited Hazaratbal shrine, Gupt-Ganga Shiva temple and gurdawara Chatti Padshahi in the city, an official spokesman said.
