I visited the holy Pashupatinath Temple and offered prayers with deep devotion and humility. On this sacred occasion, I sought divine blessings for the people of Sikkim, praying for their good health, peace, prosperity, and overall wellbeing.

It was a truly blissful and fulfilling moment to plant a Holy Parijat sapling within the serene and sacred premises of the Pashupatinath Temple, symbolising faith, renewal, and reverence for nature.

The profound spiritual ambience of the temple was deeply moving and left me feeling blessed, rejuvenated, and spiritually enriched.

I extend my heartiest gratitude to everyone who extended their support and assistance during our pilgrimage to this revered shrine. Their cooperation, kindness, and dedication made the journey smooth, meaningful, and truly memorable.
