| Chhari Mubarak' to be taken to Pahalgam for special prayers | | | Early Times Report
SRINAGAR, July 16: The holy mace of Lord Shiva, popularly known as 'Chhari Mubarak', will be taken from its abode here to Pahalgam for special prayers on Tuesday, a tradition marking the formal start of the Amarnath Yatra.
The Yatra had commenced on July 2 and so far nearly 1.70 lakh pilgrims paid their obeisance at the cave shrine which houses the naturally-formed ice-shivlingam.
However, "as per age-old tradition, rituals namely Bhoomi Pujan, Navgrah Pujan and Dhawajarohan connected with the commencement of the annual Chhari Mubarak Swami Amarnathji Yatra shall be performed at Pahalgam on auspicious occasion of Ashad-Purnima (Vyas-Purnima) that falls on July 19 this year," custodian of the Chhari Mahant Deependra Giri said.
Giri has been at loggerheads with Shri Amarnathji Shrine Board (SASB) headed by Governor N N Vohra, which conducts the yatra, on the issue of duration of the pilgrimage and wants it to follow the traditional schedule.
Giri said in a statement here that 'Chhari Mubarak' will leave its abode at Dashnami Akhara on July 19 for Pahalgam where Bhoomi Pujan and Dhwajarohan ceremonies will be performed to mark the commencement of the yatra. |
