In Pictures: Sharda Puja Performed By Indians Near LoC With PoK ‘For The First Time Since Partition’

The recent puja performed on the banks of the Kishenganga river at the LoC by the members of the Save Sharda Committee strengthens hopes for reopening the Sharda pilgrimage route on the lines of Kartarpur Corridor.

It is said to be one of the routes taken by pilgrims to visit the Sharda Peeth during the annual yatra in pre-partition days, but unfortunately today lies as the dividing line between India and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK).

But “for the first time since the Partition”, a puja was performed on the banks of the Kishenganga river at the LoC in Jammu and Kashmir’s Keran by the members of the Save Sharda Committee, which has been pursuing the case of religious and heritage tourism to Hindu shrines across the LoC in PoK.
