Custodian of the holy mace, Mahant Deependra Giri said that the Chhari Mubarak was taken for prayers at the temple on the occasion of ‘Shravan Shukla Paksha Pratipada’, as per the age-old traditions.
A sizable number of Sadhus and devotees participated in the prayers that lasted for about 90 minutes. 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 Parvat.
