Consecutive Days Of Vedic Rituals In Gorakhpur

Following age-old traditions, he anointed the Shivling with Panchamrit—a holy blend of cow's milk, curd, honey, sugar, and water. Learned priests from the Gorakhnath Temple led the ceremonial chanting, reciting the powerful Mahamantras from the Rudrashtadhyayi of the Shukla Yajurveda Samhita.
