KANGAN, INDIA, June 2, 2009: The first batch of 100 devotees set out on a pilgrimage to the ancient Harmukh-Gangbal shrine, an ancient abode of Lord Shiva situated at an altitude of 12,000 ft in Ganderbal district as the sacred sojourn was revived after about a century.

The three-day-long yatra had been revived as part of efforts to restore historic religious places which are of importance to Kashmiri pandits and preserve their cultural and religious history.
