A group of gunmen opened fire on Tuesday on tourists at a resort in Pahalgam, a picturesque town in the Himalayas often described as the "Switzerland of India".
Visitors from different states in India were killed, others seriously injured - there is no official confirmation on the numbers yet from the government.
The attack was one of the deadliest in recent years in the troubled region, and it has shattered the lives of many.
The attack took place on Tuesday afternoon. Eyewitnesses told the BBC that tourists had gathered at Baisaran, a mountain-top meadow 5km (three miles) from Pahalgam, when they heard the sound of bullets ripping through the air.
They began to run for cover and in the chaos, some were injured or separated from their groups.
