BHADERWAH, Aug 22: With the return of Charri Mubarak from the sacred Kailash Kund to the historic Vasuki Nag Temple, Gatha in Bhaderwah, the three day Kailash Yatra successfully concluded on Friday evening.
Thousands of pilgrims converged at high altitude Lake- Kailash Kund to have a dip in the holy ice lake on the last day of annual Kailash Yatra.
The holy mace of Serpent God, which started from ancient Nag temple of Gatha was joined on the way by half a dozen Charris from different parts of the state including Bhalessa, Basant Garh, Bani, Duddu, Billawar and Mathola.
After having night halts at Hayan, Ramtund and Rishi Dal on August 20, 21 and 22 respectively, the pilgrims reached holy Kailash Kund where they had a bath.
According to the local belief, Kailash Kund was the original abode of Shiva but He gave it to Vasuki Nag and Himself went to live at Manimahesh in Bharmor (Himachal Pradesh).
After performing the age old rituals at Kali Nag, Hayan, Gan Thak, Gau Peera, Ramtund and Shankh Padar, finally the ‘Charri’ reached back at Bhaderwah today, where it was received by hundreds of enthusiastic followers of Lord Vasuki Nag at Vasuk Dera.
