‘Chhari Mubarak’ to commence on July 7
Srinagar: The annual rituals of ‘Chhari Mubarak’ or the holy mace of Lord Shiva will commence on July 7 at Pahalgam in Jammu and Kashmir.
“The rituals connected with Chhari-Mubarak will commence with ‘bhoomi-pujan’ and ‘dhawajarohan’ ceremonies at Pahalgam on ‘Vyas Purnima’ which falls on July 7, marking the commencement of the annual Amarnath Yatra,” Mahant of the Mahadev Gir Dashnami Akhara Trust Deependra Giri said on Monday. Although the two-month-long yatra started officially on June 15, the Mahant had opposed the extension of the pilgrimage period, saying the yatra should be conducted only during the month of “Shravan” as per age-old religious customs and traditions. The holy mace is carried every year from the city’s ancient Shankaracharya temple to the Amarnath cave shrine during the pilgrimage. -- PTI
