The mascot and logo of Khelo India Winter Games were launched on Tuesday. The Khelo India Winter Games 2024 is scheduled to be held from February 2-6 in Gulmarg and Leh areas of the Union territories of Jammu & Kashmir and Ladakh. The second part is scheduled in Gulmarg, Jammu & Kashmir from February 21-25.
In keeping with the tradition and biodiversity of the region, the mascot of the Khelo India Winter Games 2024 is the ‘Sheen-e She' or Shan-- the snow leopard that is native to the Ladakh region.
Excited to introduce the mascot of #KheloIndia Winter Games 2024 - '𝐒𝐡𝐞𝐞𝐧-𝐞-𝐒𝐡𝐞' or '𝐒𝐡𝐚𝐧', the magnificent snow leopard native to the Himalayan abode.

It is also found in other Himalayan states of India and high-altitude areas in neighbouring countries, including Nepal, Bhutan, China, Tibet, and Central Asia.
The J&K Sports Council and the sports department of Ladakh came up with the idea of having the snow leopard as the mascot. The mascot highlights the high-mountain development issues of the natives, and the region's fragile environment as well as addresses the importance of conservation efforts to protect the natural habitat of this beautiful big cat and ensure its survival for the future.
The logo of the Games with the Indian tricolour reflects the uniqueness of the picturesque land. The logo is accompanied by a 'dharmachakra' (turning wheel of dharma) on a hilltop in Chanspa in Leh, the venue of the Games.
Delighted to unveil the vibrant logo for the upcoming 4th edition of #KheloIndia Winter Games, set to unfold in the picturesque landscapes of Union Territories of Jammu & Kashmir and Ladakh!
