Kailash Manasarovar Yatra 2011 - Batch 1- Day 19

Jun 16 2011 – Day 19

Journey – Qugu to Qugu

Today we decided to have some puja and homam / Yagna. Therefore we took bath after 1200 hrs (it is advisable to have bath after 1200 hrs; because the lake water will be little warm due to sun; before that will be ice cold) and got ready with all our puja things. There was a small platform with homa gunda behind the monastery. We assembled there and mixed all our puja things. Some learned yatris lit the homam and we offered our prayers. We continued with 108 times of Gayatri mantra, Chamundeswari mantra and Mrityunjaya Mantra each respectively.

It was a very good feeling. On completion of our homam, the weather changed and it started drizzling slowly but with heavy winds. We completed our homam and proceeded to our camp site.

Today we had heavy lunch.
