Badrinath, Kedarnath open

Dehra Dun, May 4
The kapats (doors) of the famous Hindu shrines, Badrinath and Kedarnath, were today opened for the public amid recitation of Vedic mantras. Thousands of pilgrims thronged the temples, queuing up for the darshan. The security has been more than doubled this year as compared to the last year and for the first time, a bomb disposal squad has also been deployed in Badrinath. — UNI
