First Batch Of Pilgrims For Kailash Mansarovar Yatra Departs From UP
Ghaziabad: Chanting "Har Har Mahadev", the first batch of 39 pilgrims was flagged off on Sunday from Ghaziabad for the Kailash Mansarovar Yatra which has resumed after a hiatus of five years. The flag-off ceremony took place at the Kailash Mansarovar Bhavan in Indirapuram where Uttar Pradesh Tourism and Culture Minister Jaiveer Singh launched the pilgrimage. Apart from 39 pilgrims, the first batch will also have two liaison officers. Initially, 46 registrations were received, but some people could not participate due to health issues, an official statement said. A special 'Shaivite' prayer was held to mark the occasion, with sounds of traditional instruments like the damru, mridang, turhi, and dholak filling the air. The spiritually charged atmosphere resonated with chants of "Har Har Mahadev" from pilgrims and dignitaries alike. The event was also attended by Cabinet Minister Sunil Sharma, Ghaziabad MP Atul Garg, Principal Secretary (Religious Affairs and Culture) Mukesh Meshram, and District Magistrate Deepak Meena, among others, the statement said. Tourism Minister Singh called the resumption of the pilgrimage from UP a historic moment, reflecting the government's commitment to promoting religious tourism. He highlighted the efforts of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath in reviving Sanatan culture. MP Garg extended his heartfelt wishes for a safe and blessed journey, while Cabinet Minister Sharma expressed pride that the Kailash Bhavan, the starting point of the yatra, lies in his constituency. In a special gesture, the Department of Religious Affairs, in collaboration with the Shri Kashi Vishwanath Temple Trust, has announced a special offering for all Kailash Mansarovar pilgrims. The CEO of Shri Kashi Vishwanath Temple Trust, Vishwabhushan Mishra, said every pilgrim will be presented with a 'Rudraksha' garland and a QR-coded 'Sugam Darshan' card upon return. This card will remain valid for one year and will grant priority entry to the Kashi Vishwanath Temple for the pilgrims and four of their family members. However, it will not be applicable on major festive occasions such as Mahashivratri, Sawan Mondays, etc., the statement said. The state government is providing financial assistance of Rs 1 lakh to each resident of the state undertaking the Kailash Mansarovar Yatra, it said.

Kailash Manasarovar Yatra: Batch of pilgrims flagged off, UP ministers extend wishes
New Delhi: After a five-year hiatus, a group of pilgrims to Kailash Manasarovar in Tibet was flagged off on Sunday from Ghaziabad by Uttar Pradesh Tourism Minister Jaiveer Singh. The ceremonial flag-off took place at Indirapuram's Yatra Bhavan, where the Minister officially launched the pilgrimage. A total of 15 groups are scheduled to leave from the Yatra Bhavan over the next several days, with special arrangements and facilities in place to ensure the comfort and safety of all pilgrims. Tourism Minister Jaiveer Singh expressed pride in Ghaziabad becoming the new starting point for the pilgrimage. 'First of all, it's not a long wait, but a matter of great fortune for Uttar Pradesh. For the first time, devotees and pilgrims of Kailash Mansarovar from across the country will begin their sacred journey from this holy land of Ghaziabad, which is also my workplace and birthplace,' he said. He also highlighted that this moment marks a spiritual milestone for the state and its people. Uttar Pradesh Minister Sunil Kumar Sharma extended his heartfelt wishes to the pilgrims. 'First of all, I extend my congratulations and best wishes to all those embarking on this sacred pilgrimage to Kailash Mansarovar. May Lord Mahadev bless them, may their journey be smooth, and may everyone return home safely after completing their pilgrimage,' he said. He further praised the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, adding, 'The world now acknowledges Modi Ji as both a messenger and protector of peace. Peace cannot be safeguarded without strength, and Modi Ji is both a devotee and a symbol of that strength.' Spiritual leader Acharya Pramod Krishnam also addressed the gathering, calling the event a moment of pride for the nation and for followers of Sanatan Dharma. 'This is the era of Sanatan, and it is the era of India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Uttar Pradesh's dynamic, popular, hardworking, and dedicated Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath,' he said. Expressing gratitude for being invited to flag off the pilgrimage, he added, 'It is a matter of great honour for me to be part of this event. This Yatra, with chants of 'Bam Bam Bhole' and 'Har Har Mahadev', is a source of pride not only for India but for Sanatan followers around the world.' BJP MP Atul Garg emphasised the deep spiritual and cultural roots of the Yatra. 'These traditions are thousands of years old. People have been undertaking these pilgrimages with a deep desire for spiritual fulfilment. During earlier times, such journeys were neglected, but under this government, they have been revived with respect and support,' he said, commending the efforts of the state and religious leaders. The Kailash Mansarovar Yatra, considered one of the most sacred pilgrimages in Hinduism and other Indic traditions, was suspended in 2020 due to the global pandemic. It is revived from Ghaziabad as the first group embarks on their spiritual journey.

Tej Pratap Yadav Seen In Video Inside Kashi Vishwanath Temple's 'Red Zone', Probe Ordered
Last Updated: The high-security zone includes the sanctum premises within the Kashi Vishwanath Corridor, where mobile phones and unauthorised access are strictly prohibited. Tej Pratap Yadav, RJD patriarch Lalu Prasad Yadav's son, has courted a controversy after a video surfaced on social media showing the estranged party leader inside Varanasi's Kashi Vishwanath Temple's restricted 'Red Zone'. The temple administration has ordered an investigation after the video went viral triggering security concerns, reported news agency PTI. The high-security zone includes the sanctum premises within the Kashi Vishwanath Corridor, where mobile phones and unauthorised access are strictly prohibited. What's In The Video? The video, which began circulating on social media platforms on Thursday, appears to show the former Bihar minister inside the restricted 'Red Zone' area, officials said. 'May Baba Vishwanath bless you, May the ghat of mother Ganga be pure and holy, I forget the whole world and I remember my Bhola in Banaras, I must say Har Har Mahadev…." he said in a post on X along with the video. बाबा विश्वनाथ का आशीर्वाद हो,माँ गंगा का निर्मल पवित्र घाट हो,पूरी दुनिया को मैं भूल जाऊं औरबनारस में मेरा भोला मुझे याद हो हर हर महादेव बोलना ही होगा। … #Varanasi — Tej Pratap Yadav (@TejYadav14) June 13, 2025 Temple Orders Probe Kashi Vishwanath Temple CEO Vishwa Bhushan Mishra that the temple administration recently became aware of the video through social media platforms and various newspapers. According to the temple administration, information has been shared with the CRPF and the local police, which are responsible for the temple's security. 'Information has been sent to the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) and local police administration to conduct a thorough investigation into the matter and take action against the responsible personnel of the concerned agency," said Mishra. 'Both agencies have been requested to ensure strict adherence to the prescribed rules and guidelines within the temple premises. Their investigation will also verify the authenticity of the content circulated on social media and identify any personnel found to be at fault. If any violation of rules is found at any level, appropriate legal action against the concerned individuals," he added. The controversy comes amid ongoing personal and political turbulence for Tej Pratap Yadav. The RJD patriarch and his father expelled him from the Rashtriya Janata Dal, declaring that he would have 'nothing to do with the family," on May 25. The move came a day after Tej Pratap Yadav's Facebook post announced that he was 'in a relationship for 12 years" with a woman, despite being married and his divorce petition still pending before a family court. He, however, deleted the post a few hours later, claiming on X that his Facebook page was 'hacked." First Published: June 15, 2025, 08:50 IST
