The Chief Minister also participated in and commenced the <strong>evening aarti<\/strong>, performed with traditional Vedic chants in a manner inspired by the celebrated aarti of Haridwar. Officials said the daily aarti is expected to become a major attraction for pilgrims and tourists alike.<\/p>\n<p>The Ban Ganga Ghat project, developed at a cost of <strong>Rs. 2.20 crore<\/strong>, stands as a testament to collaborative efforts. The <strong>Captain Shailesh Riyalch Foundation<\/strong>\u2014established in memory of Captain Shailesh from Ambari, Nagrota Bagwan, who was martyred 25 years ago\u2014contributed <strong>Rs. 1.5 crore<\/strong>, while the <strong>Kangra district administration<\/strong> provided nearly <strong>Rs. 70 lakh<\/strong>.

To enhance the comfort and spiritual experience of devotees, the site now includes a <strong>grand aarti platform<\/strong>, <strong>changing rooms<\/strong>, <strong>toilets<\/strong>, an <strong>aesthetic stage<\/strong>, a <strong>beautifully landscaped park<\/strong>, and <strong>improved lighting<\/strong>. In addition to the evening aarti, the location will soon host <strong>yoga sessions<\/strong>, along with various <strong>religious and cultural programmes<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>CM Sukhu emphasized Himachal Pradesh\u2019s identity as <strong>Dev Bhoomi<\/strong>, noting that the Ban Ganga Ghat serves thousands of worshippers visiting the revered <strong>Bajreshwari Temple<\/strong> in Kangra. The upgraded ghat, he said, will provide a <strong>safe, well-organized, and spiritually uplifting space<\/strong> for holy dips and ritual ceremonies.<\/p>\n<p>The event was attended by Ayush Minister <strong>Yadvinder Goma<\/strong>, MLAs <strong>Sanjay Awasthy<\/strong>, <strong>Suresh Kumar<\/strong>, and <strong>Kamlesh Thakur<\/strong>, Chairman HP School Education Board <strong>Dr. Rajesh Sharma<\/strong>, HRTC Vice-Chairman <strong>Ajay Verma<\/strong>, HP Wool Federation Chairman <strong>Manoj Thakur<\/strong>, APMC Kangra Chairman <strong>Nishu Mongra<\/strong>, Deputy Commissioner <strong>Hemraj Bairwa<\/strong>, SP <strong>Ashok Rattan<\/strong>, along with several other dignitaries.<\/p>\n<p>With its enhanced facilities and spiritual ambience, the Ban Ganga Ghat is set to become a prominent landmark for religious tourism in Kangra.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CM Sukhu Inaugurates Newly Developed Ban Ganga Ghat;
