JAMMU. Apr 16: For the first time in the City of Temples, a grand Aarti of Mahashakti is set to be performed by learned Shastri priests and Matrishakti daughters at the revered Shri Raghunath Ji Temple.
With the blessings of Dr Karan Singh and the support of the Dharmaarth Trust, the “Jammu Aarti” was formally inaugurated by Lt Governor Manoj Sinha. The “Jammu Aarti Sanstha” is now set to commence a weekly series of evening Aartis every Sunday at 5:30 PM at Shri Raghunath Ji Temple, beginning on the auspicious occasion of Akshaya Tritiya (19 April 2026).
Addressing a press conference, the Sanstha’s Chairperson Dr Ritu Singh and its Founder & Vice Chairman Baldev Khullar stated that feeling the need of the hour, the “Jammu Aarti Sanstha” is dedicating “Shri Raghunath Ji Ki Jammu Aarti” to the religious and tourism sectors of Jammu in order to fulfil these cherished objectives.
With the aim of preserving and propagating ancient Sanatan culture, “Jammu Aarti” seeks to create a powerful religious atmosphere in Jammu and to reawaken the glorious religious and cultural identity of Jammu city.
A key objective of this initiative is to acquaint pilgrims of Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Ji and Shri Baba Amarnath Ji, as well as tourists, with Jammu’s rich cultural heritage, ancient religious treasures, and historical glory — and to draw them towards these divine destinations.
On this occasion, the Sanstha’s President Rajesh Diwan humbly appealed to all residents of Jammu to become ambassadors of their city and to invite visiting pilgrims, tourists, and their own family members to attend Shri Raghunath Ji Ki Jammu Aarti, and to introduce the youth to Jammu’s rich culture. The Sanstha’s General Secretary Anoop Jain also spoke on the occasion.
Other office-bearers present on the occasion included Jitendra Gupta, Tanishk Mahajan, Ankush Sethi, Sachin Raina, Ridham Gupta, Seema Murti, Sunali Dogra, Monika Saraf, Swati Dedeechi, Esther William and presidents and representatives of market associations in the vicinity of Shri Raghunath Ji Temple.
