Temple reopens after 20 years

PRESS TRUST OF INDIA

Srinagar, Jan 20: A temple in the Shahr-e-Khaas reopened
 Tuesday after 20 years with a special Pooja organised on the occasion of Basant Panchami.
 Non-migrant Kashmiri Pandits assembled at Shetaleshwar Bhairav, temple and performed puja.
 T N Ganjoo, chairman of Kashmiri Pandit Sangarash Samiti, (an organisation of non-migrant Pandits) said they chose Basant Panchami for the reopening of the temple to restore its past glory.
 “The Shiv lingam in the temple is intact thanks to a Kashmiri
 Muslim caretaker. The reopening of the temple is a glaring example of communal harmony and we have decided to involve the Muslim community and use the premises for reconciliation,” Samiti President Sanjay K Tikoo said.
