Jammu, March 02, 2025: The annual MahaShivratri samaroh was celebrated by Sanjeevani Sharda Kendra today on 2nd March 2025 with all religious fervour & cultural enthusiasm.

He was of a firm view that only then would the Kashmiri Hindu religious ethos survive in future.
Earlier, Dr M.K.Bharat, chairman Sanjeevani Sharda Kendra welcoming, the Chief Guest & Mahant Kameshwar Dass ji of Hanuman Mandir Srinagar and other dignitaries threw light on the celebration of Har Ratri, known as Herath among Kashmiri Hindus.
