‘Pratham pooja’ performed ahead of Amarnath yatra
In a bid to seek blessings of Lord Shiva for smooth conduct of the annual Amarnath yatra, Shri Amarnathji Shrine Board’s CEO on Tuesday performed ‘pratham pooja’ at Chandanwari on the traditional Pahalgam track to the holy cave shrine.
The board has been organising ‘pratham pooja’ on the occasion of ‘jyesht purnima’ every year to seek blessings of Lord Shiva for the peaceful conduct of the annual yatra.
The pooja was performed by SASB CEO P K Tripathi amid chanting of vedic mantras to seek blessings of Shri Amarnathji for the smooth conduct of the ensuing Yatra, starting July 2, a SASB spokesman said.
The CEO also inspected the ongoing works at the access control gate at Chandanwari and directed the officers concerned to expedite the erection of the shelter sheds and ensure the timely repair of all damaged infrastructure.
