The ‘Chhari Mubarak’ (saffron-robed holy mace of Lord Shiva) was taken to the Sharika Bhawani Temple at Hari Parvat here today for puja. The custodian of the holy mace, Mahant Deependra Giri, along with a group of sadhus carried the ‘Chhari Mubarak’ to the Sharika Bhawani Temple to pay obeisance to the goddess. Goddess Sharika Bhawani, popularly known as Tripursundari among the mystics, is believed to be “isht devi” (presiding deity) of Srinagar city who manifested herself in a figure of a “shila” (holy rock) at Hari Parvat.
