No holy bath, ‘pind daan’ in Kurukshetra today
Kurukshetra, May 21
With a large number of devotees expected to reach Kurukshetra to take a holy dip and offer ‘pind daan’ at Brahma Sarovar, Sannihit Sarovar and Saraswati Tirtha on ‘amavasya’ on Friday, the administration has banned the activities.
The district administration had recently granted permission to priests to perform ‘pind daan’ and other post-death rituals in Kurukshetra.
“A large number of people from nearby districts may arrive on Friday to perform ‘pind daan’ and take a holy dip. To stop further spread of Covid, a ban has been imposed on these activities at Brahma Sarovar, Sannihit Sarovar, and Saraswati Tirtha,” said Deputy Commissioner Dhirendra Khadgata. — TNS
