Srinagar, August 12

As part of age-old traditions related to the Amarnath yatra, the holy mace ‘Chhari Mubarak’ was carried to the Sharika-Bhawani temple, Hari Parbat, for prayers.

Custodian of the mace Mahant Deependra Giri said the mace was taken to Sharika-Bhawani to pay obeisance to the goddess on the occasion of ‘Shravan Shukla Paksha Pratipada’.

“Sharika-Bhawani, popularly known as ‘Tripursundari’, among the mystics, is believed to be ‘Isht Devi’ (presiding deity) of Srinagar city who manifested herself in a figure of ‘shila’ (holy rock) at Hari Parbat,” the Mahant said.

He said the sadhus, who participated in the pujan, prayed for everlasting peace for the state. Rituals connected with ‘Chhari-Sthapana’ are scheduled to be performed on Monday at Shri Amareshwar Temple in Srinagar. After performing the rituals, the holy mace will be kept at the temple for ‘darshan’ till it leaves for main course of the pilgrimage on August 20 to the holy cave shrine.
