The evening aarti at the Sangam of the two rivers in Kedarnath was resumed on May 4, two days after the doors of the temple were opened for devotees on May 2, Badrinath-Kedarnath Temple Committee chairman Hemant Dwivedi said.
It is being performed every day by the ‘teerth purohits’ (pilgrimage priests) with the cooperation of Shri Kedar Sabha even if the weather is bad at the temple, he said.
Uttarakhand Tourism Secretary Sachin Kurve had instructed the temple committee to resume the evening aarti at the confluence this year. PTI ALM ALM KSS KSS
