A special prayer, headed by seer Sri Sri Sri Vidhushekhara Bharati Mahaswamiji, was held at the Maa Sharda Devi Temple in Kupwara’s Teetwal, located close to the Line of Control (LoC), on Monday, in a bid to push for the revival of the Sharda Peeth corridor to Pakistan Occupied Kashmir (PoK).
The Prana Pratishtha ceremony of the Sharda Murti, handed over by the Shankarachrya of the Dakshinamnaya, at the Teetwal temple was attended by sadhus and Kashmiri Pandits.
“The temple’s inauguration was on March 22 this year. However, no pooja has been held since then. A formal pooja was held this week by the Shankaracharya of Dakshin Matt. We intend to put pressure on both the countries to allow religious pilgrimage between J&K and PoK,” Ravinder Pandita, chairman of the Save Sharda Committee Kashmir, said.
