ammu, February 16

Ahead of Maha Shivratri, a Kashmiri Pandit social organisation, ‘Athrot’, screened a documentary for youngsters living in camps of Jammu to apprise them of their unique rituals, which are slowly being forgotten.

Maha Shivratri or ‘Herath’ as Pandits call it, is one of the biggest festivals of Hindus of the Valley, which is celebrated for three days. The documentary has been made to show the young generation about the way ‘Shivratri Puja’ is conducted and historical relevance of all rituals conducted during the three days.

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).
