The Parikrama will enter the State on December 7 via Lakhanpur in Kathua district and proceed to other destinations for 15 days upto December 21, he said.
The yatra would touch most of the districts, towns and shrines, including Mata Vaishnodevi, Hazratbal, Chatti Badshahi, Shankracharya, Khir Bhawani, besides Dal lake to seek spiritual blessings, he added.
