Goddess Sharada from Sringeri to adorn new temple in Kashmir
Madhuri Adnal
A vehicle has been purchased and converted into a chariot to carry the idol of the ‘Goddess of Knowledge.’
The idol would pass through different States before being installed in the temple on March 22.
The consecrated idol is made of five metals (panchaloha) to the SSCK for newly constructed Sharda Temple at LoC Teetwal.
The chariot would proceed from Sringeri on January 24 and pass through Bengaluru, Mumbai, Pune, Ahmedabad, Jaipur, Delhi-NCR, Chandigarh, Amritsar, Jammu, Kupwara and Tikker Asthappan in Kupwara.
The Teetwal temple is significant as the pious Chhadi Mubarak used to be taken out from Teetwal to the main Sharada temple which is now located in the Pakistan Occupied Kashmir.
