Mandi, April 15

Deity Kala Kameshwar, the presiding deity of Khelkothi of the Seraj area of Mandi district, was installed in a gold chariot yesterday.

Devotees, who were attending the event, were mesmerised by the symphony displayed with instruments by musical maestros of the area. Joy and unwavering faith in their favourite deity was visible among all, as they danced to rejoice the moment.

Nok Singh Thakur, pradhan of Deity Kala Kameshwar Committee said the followers of the deity had donated wholeheartedly to build the gold chariot. The chariot was prepared at a cost of nearly Rs 4 crore.

“A large number of devotees ensured their presence at the consecration ceremony. At the ceremony, gurs (orators) of the deities of the Seraj area were also invited and a community feast was organised for all the people who came to attend the event,” he added.

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).
