DEHRADUN: A small sand mound appeared briefly in Ganga near the Brahmakund at Har-ki-Pauri on Thursday and instantly became the centre of attraction for pilgrims on the first day of the kanwar yatra.
Some devotees reached the mound and kept statues of deities there while others formed Shivlings, hailing the appearance of the sand mound as "a sign from Lord Shiva". “I came to see the mound as many people began offering prayers and laying flowers there,” said a local resident who was present at Har-ki-Pauri on Thursday morning.
