Srinagar, Aug 31: Chhari Mubarak (the holy mace of Lord Shiva) reached the Amarnath cave shrine on Thursday, making the formal end of the 62-day-long Shri Amarnath Ji Yatra 2023.
Officials said that Chhari Mubarak reached the holy cave on Thursday where the final pooja was held.
An official said that a group of sages led by the custodian of the holy mace Mahant Deependra Giri carrying Chhari Mubarak reached the Amarnath cave on Thursday after spending a night at Panchtarni.
He said that during the beginning of the yatra this year, there was a good rush of pilgrims; however, later it started declining with each passing day, forcing the authorities to suspend the yatra a week before its scheduled time.
This year, the overall flow was good after several years as around 4.5 lakh yatris visited the holy cave, he said.
Over the last several years, Amarnath Yatra has been witnessing fewer footfalls. Compared to over 6 lakh pilgrims who visited the cave shrine in 2012, the number has come down to over 3 lakh in 2022 and 4.5 lakh this year.
The 62-day-long pilgrimage commenced on July 1 this year and will culminate with the event of ‘Chhari Mubarak’ on August 31.
The official said that a group of sages led by custodian of the holy mace Mahant Deependra Giri carrying Chhari Mubarak will reach the Amarnath cave on Thursday and will spend tonight at Panchtarni.
The 145-kilometre Chhari Mubarak yatra starts from Dashnami Akhara in Srinagar and during the route, the sages perform hawans at Pampore, Bijbehara, Anantnag, Mattan, Aishmuqam and finally at Pahalgam where the procession takes rest for two days before proceeding to Amarnath cave.
The sages along with Chhari Mubarak usually spend two nights at Pahalgam – one at Chandanwari and another at Sheshnag.
Today, on August 31, on the occasion of Shravan-Punima, Chhari Mubarak was taken to the holy shrine of Amarnath before sunrise, and the pooja began with the rising sun and with its culmination, the yatra ended peacefully, the official said.
