This holy water, dispatched by civil society members across the Line of Control (LoC), reached Ravinder Pandita in September last year via Britain, given the current suspension of postal services between India and PoK. A civil society team from Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK), led by Tanveer Ahmad, gathered holy water from Sharda Kund. They transported it to Islamabad, Pakistan, where Tanveer arranged for a courier to deliver it to his daughter in the UK. Subsequently, a Kashmiri Pandit, who had traveled to India in August of the previous year, received the holy water in the UK. From there, the Sharda Peeth Committee collected it and facilitated its transport to Delhi, according to Ravindra Pandita.


Pandita shared that this initiative follows the previous sending of pious soil and shilas to Ram Mandir during the foundation stone laying three years ago.


Ravinder Pandita, emphasizing the significance of the event, stated, "The consecration of the Pratima of Bhagwan Ram marks the second Pran Pratishtha after the consecration of Sharda Temple on the LoC at Teetwal on June 5, 2023, since independence. On January 22, we will illuminate diyas at Sharda Temple, LoC Teetwal."
