As tensions continue to rise between Indian and Pakistan, a special yagya will be performed tomorrow at the famous Tanot Mata temple, located close to the Indo-Pak border in Rajasthan, and attended by Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje.
"'Rastra Raksha Yagya' and other rituals, including recital of Durga Saptashati, will be performed tomorrow evening to seek blessings for Indian soldiers," Jaya Dave, Chairperson of the Rajasthan Sanskrit Academy, which is organising the yajna, said.
The Chief Minister will visit the temple tomorrow. Raje had wished for the yajna after the surgical strikes by the Army on terror launch pads across the LoC, she said.
"The special yajna will be organised for the Army, BSF and people. Many villages in Jaisalmer, Barmer, Sri Ganganagar and Bikaner are located on the Indo-Pak border," a release from the Chief Minister's Office said.
The temple, about 130 kms from Jaisalmer, is visited by thousands of devotees every year. Its museum has a collection of unexploded bombs hurled at it by the Pakistani Army during the 1965 Indo-Pak war.
