KULLU, OCTOBER 20

The deities, participating in Kullu Dasehra, visited the camp temple of Lord Raghunath today to support the chief deity for killing Ravana tomorrow, the last day of the festival.

‘Chharibardar’ (chief caretaker) of Lord Raghunath Maheshwar Singh took blessings by performing Durga Puja at the temple at the Dhalpur ground.

It is believed that Goddess Tripura Sundari Devi, one of the ‘Kul Devis’ of the rulers of Kullu, blesses Lord Raghunath to win over the evils. Goddess Kali was also worshipped. The ‘Mohalla’ festivities are the final preparations of conquering Ravana in ‘Lanka Dahan’ to be held tomorrow.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
