Srinagar, Jul 6 : Launching online service of Shri Amarnathji Shrine Board (SASB) on Tuesday, Lt Governor Manoj Sinha, who is also chairman of the board, said the devotees of Lord Shiva from across the world can perform virtual puja, hawan and get prasad at their doorsteps.

With the launch of the services, the devotees of Lord Shiva from across the world can perform online virtual puja and hawan at the Holy Cave, observed the Lt Governor. Online prasad booking service was also extended to the devotees through this initiative, he added.

“SASB is extending online services including Virtual Pooja for devotees in their name, Virtual Hawan(with darshan) by name & Online Prasad booking”, said Chie Executive Officer (CEO), SASB, Nitishwar Kumar.
