Jammu, January 15:
The historic Raghunath temple once again became a witness to history. Like Kashi Ganga, the Jammu Maha Arati of Shri Raghunath ji was started in Jammu. A huge crowd of city dwellers gathered to see it. Everyone was mesmerized by the divinity and grandeur of the aarti started on the occasion of Makar Sankranti.

The Aarti was done in five stages in the first Aarti with incense, second with agarbatti, third with naag aarti. Fourth with badi aarti and fifth with peacock feathers and flowers. In this 51 jyoti were lit simultaneously.
