Sharing his experience of climbing more than 400 steep steps down to the Kund from the hilltop near the temple premise, the governor said the need of the time is to facilitate the aged pilgrims and women to perform their ‘Puja’ with convenience and safety, so that they can carry back good experience from the pilgrimage.
He suggested for appropriate provision of the holy water in well approachable Kund and also with special care for the exclusiveness for women pilgrims.
