Srinagar: 'Chhari Mubarak', the saffron-robed holy mace of Lord Shiva, was on Sunday taken to the ancient 'Sharika-Bhawani' temple on the Hari Parbat hillock in downtown area of the city here for offering special prayers as per the age-old customs related to the annual Amarnath Yatra.
Carried by its custodian Mahant Deependra Giri and accompanied by a group of sadhus and devotees, the holy mace was taken to the temple to pay obeisance to the Goddess on the occasion of 'Shravan Shukla Paksha Pradipada', as per the age-old traditions, a spokesman of the 'True Trust', founded by Giri in 2004, said.
He said Goddess 'Sharika-Bhawani', popularly known as 'Tripursundari' amongst the mystics, is believed to be 'Isht Devi' (Presiding Deity) of the Srinagar city who manifested herself in a figure of 'Shila' (holy rock) at Hari-Parbat.
Sadhus, who participated in the pujan, prayed for everlasting peace for Jammu and Kashmir, the spokesman said.
He said rituals connected with 'Chhari-Sthapana' would be performed on Monday at Shri Amareshwar Temple Akhara Building, Budshah Chowk here.
