JAMMU, Feb 10: Swami Kashi Bub Ji Maharaj Trust Hugam successfully concluded a three-day Pran Pratishtha and Asthapana Pooja at its newly constructed ashram in Bantalab, Jammu. The ceremony marked the consecration of five idols—Shiv Parivar, Radhe Krishna, Ram Darbar, Sherawali Mata, and Swami Kashi Bub Ji—bringing together hundreds of devotees from various regions.
The event commenced with a traditional Kalash Poojan performed under the guidance of five priests, each accompanied by their spouses. Following this, the trust officially opened the Ashram premises to the public and initiated its social activities.
The Ashram’s infrastructure, though partially completed, includes a Havan Mandap, idol sanctums, two kitchens, washrooms, and a store room, all equipped with essential facilities, including drinking water.
During the three-day celebration, devotees participated in daily rituals and received prasad. The third day featured an uninterrupted Yagya, culminating with a Puran Ahuti, where hundreds of followers gathered to seek divine blessings from the newly installed deities.
The ceremony witnessed a large gathering, including Swami Kumar Ji (Geeta Sat Sangh Ashram Muthi) and Committee Head BL Dhar as well as Bhola Nath Ji Dhar (general secretary of the Trust).
