Mandi, August 21

The three-day Pori festival concluded at the Triloknath temple in Lahaul and Spiti today.

The festival was inaugurated on Friday by Technical Education Minister Ram Lal Markanda. He said the state was world famous for fairs and festivals and many such events were being organised throughout the state traditionally for centuries. This was playing an important role in keeping cultural heritage intact.

The minister added that the Triloknath temple is worshipped by the Hindus and Buddhists in the form of Lord Shiva and Avalokiteshvara.

Apart from cultural programmes, other sports activities such as volleyball, kabaddi, archery and tug of war for women were organised during the fair. A group dance was also performed by the Mahila Mandals to entertain the audience.

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).
