Union Home Minister and Minister of Cooperation Amit Shah said Monday that celebrating Navratri pujas in the historic Sharda Temple in Kashmir this year is a matter of profound spiritual significance.

The Navratri pujas were organised in the historic Sharda Temple in Kashmir this year for the first time since 1947.

In a post over X, he said that earlier in the year, the Chaitra Navratri Puja was observed and now the mantras of the Shardiya Navratri puja resound in the shrine.

Amit Shah said that he was fortunate to reopen the temple on 23rd March 2023 after restoration. This not only signifies the return of peace in the valley but also marks the rekindling of our nation’s spiritual and cultural flame under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, he said.
