Administration makes arrangements for remote 'darshan' of Lord Shiva

 

Deoghar: For the first time, there will be remote darshan of Baba Baidyanath during the month-long ShrawaniMela. The temple administration, beginning Monday, has decided to stop entry of devotees into the sanctum sanctorum.

They can pour Gangajal (arghya) which they bring from Sultanganj, 120 km from here, through a 140 kg brass vessel. Devotees can watch the water falling on the 'Dwadashjyotirlingam' through a CCTV mirror and can have darshan of Lord Shiva through the CCT mirror only.
The Jharkhand civil aviation department has made arrangements for aerial 'darshan' of the temple by paying Rs 500. They will fly from Deoghar airport twice over the temple and offer their prayers in the air. For the affluent, Jharkhand Tourism Development Corporation and Jharkhand Federation of Commerce and Industries have arranged two small aircraft from Jamshedpur and Ranchi. The three-and-half-hour chartered to-and-fro flight will carry nine passengers for Rs 14,999 each.
