Ganderbal, Sept 10: The annual Harmakh-Gangbal Lake pilgrimage, a sacred journey for Kashmiri Pandits, commenced on Tuesday morning with a group of pilgrims departing from the historic Naranag area in Ganderbal district. The pilgrimage, known as the Yatra, is set against the backdrop of the Harmukh Mountain Range, at an altitude of 3,570 meters.
Deputy Commissioner Ganderbal, Shyambir, and Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Ganderbal, Waseem Qadri, officially flagged off the pilgrimage. The ceremony was attended by several civil, police, and Army officials, including representatives from the State Disaster Response Force (SDRF), Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) 118 Battalion, 34 Assam Rifles, and other security forces who will accompany the pilgrims to ensure their safety.
The pilgrimage begins at the ancient Naranag Temple, where devotees start their challenging 36-kilometer trek to the sacred Gangbal Lake, situated at an altitude of 14,500 feet. The pilgrims are expected to reach the lake on Wednesday, where they will partake in holy worship, before beginning their return journey the following day.
Organized by the Harmukh Ganga Trust and the All Parties Migration Coordination Committee, the Yatra has received extensive support from the district administration. To ensure the safety and comfort of the pilgrims, the Ganderbal administration has made comprehensive arrangements, including lodging, meals, medical assistance, and robust security measures.
Speaking to reporters, Deputy Commissioner Ganderbal Shyambir emphasized the administration’s dedication to ensuring the success of the pilgrimage. He highlighted the meticulous logistical and safety preparations put in place, ensuring that the sacred journey proceeds smoothly.
