The Shrimad Bhagwat Katha Gyan Yajna was inaugurated today in the town of Kharar, Punjab, as part of a series of devotional programmes aimed at promoting the teachings of the Bhagavata Purana. The event was opened with a traditional Kalash Yatra, where a sacred pot filled with holy water and scriptures was carried through the streets by volunteers and local dignitaries.
