Srinagar/IBNS: In order to provide a personal experience to the devotees of Shri Amarnathji, Lieutenant  Governor Manoj Sinha today launched various online services of the Shri Amarnathji Shrine Board.

For millions of devotees who are unable to visit the Holy Cave of Shri Amarnath Ji this year due to the  COVID-19 pandemic, the Shrine Board has brought Darshan, Hawan, and Prasad facility under the virtual model. The devotees can book their Pooja, Hawan, and Prasad online, and priests at the holy cave will offer it in the devotee’s name. Prasad will be subsequently delivered at the doorsteps of the devotees.

“With the launch of new online services of Shri Amarnathji Shrine Board, the devotees of Lord Shiva from across the world can perform online virtual Puja and Hawan at the Holy Cave,” observed the Lt  Governor.

The Virtual Pooja or Hawan would be carried out by the Holy cave Pujari at the Cave shrine by pronouncing the name and Gotra of the devotee along with chanting of Mantras & Shlokas. The devotees would be let in a virtual online room through Jio meet application wherein they would be having a special virtual pooja and darshan of the Holy Ice Lingam in their name, CEO, SASB, Nitishwar Kumar said.

The Shrine Board is also launching its dedicated channel on the My Jio TV application wherein the devotees can watch live darshan anytime in the day. These steps have been initiated in the wake of the cancellation of this year’s Yatra, the CEO SASB maintained.

The Shrine Board has already arranged for live telecast of morning and evening Aarti from Holy Cave of Lord Shiva both on TV and Digital platforms after Yatra was cancelled for the second consecutive year.
