This sacred ceremony took place on the premises of the Swami Kral Bab ji Ashram in Bantalab. The Yagni extended over two days and was conducted under the able guidance of the esteemed Ved Acharya, Shri L D Kaul, along with his team of Acharyas.
During the Yagni, discussions centered on the cultural heritage and traditions of the Kashmiri Pandits. There was a collective realization of the need for strong individual and collective efforts to preserve and promote the legacy of Kashmiri cultural heritage and tradition.
The event was graced by the presence of several distinguished individuals, including:

One of the primary objectives of the newly formed committee is to make determined efforts to rebuild the damaged and burnt temple in their native village of Nahama, Handwara, Kashmir. They plan to mobilize both government and private resources for this noble endeavor.
This revival of the Shiv Mandir Committee marks a significant step in preserving and nurturing the rich cultural and religious heritage of the Kashmiri Pandit community.
