Jaipur, June 2025.
A spiritually enriching two-day Hawan, organized by Kashmiri Visthapit Hindu Samiti, Jaipur, commenced on June 2nd and concluded on June 3rd with the sacred offering of Puran Aahuti. The event drew a large number of devotees and community members, uniting them in a profound celebration of faith, culture, and solidarity.
The ceremony featured traditional Vedic rituals and collective prayers, invoking peace, prosperity, and well-being for all. A key highlight of this year’s gathering was the performance by the Kashmiri Cultural Mandli, whose soulful devotional songs and traditional bhajans beautifully reflected the rich spiritual and cultural heritage of Kashmir. Their presence added a vibrant and emotional depth to the proceedings, making the event especially memorable.
A Medical Camp was also organized as part of the event, where the significance of alkaline water and its health benefits was shared with attendees.
Organizers and community leaders expressed heartfelt gratitude to all those who participated and contributed to the success of the ceremony. “This Hawan is not merely a religious ritual—it is a reaffirmation of our roots, values, and collective strength,” said one of the organizers. “The Cultural Mandli’s performance served as a powerful reminder of our proud heritage.”
However, the celebrations were touched with sorrow due to the recent Pahalgam Massacre, in which innocent lives were tragically lost. Special prayers were offered during the Hawan for the souls of the martyrs, reflecting the community’s shared grief and resilience.
The event concluded with the sacred Puran Aahuti, followed by the distribution of prasad and a communal langar, fostering the spirit of unity, devotion, and selfless service.
