Srinagar, Feb 16: Thousands of devotees braved the chill on Wednesday to offer prayers at Hazratbal Shrine here to celebrate the birthday of Prophet Muhammad (SAW).
Men, women and children converged at the shrine on the banks of the Dal Lake to have a glimpse of the Holy Relic after each namaz.
Thousands of people offered the congregational Zuhar prayers at Hazratbal to catch the glimpse of holy Relic. The Relic is displayed after every prayer on Milad-un-Nabi (SAW). People including children and women held night-long prayers and recited Dorud-i-Sharief.
The Government had made elaborate arrangements to ensure the smooth flow of traffic. More than 1000 private and SRTC vehicles ferried devotees from different parts of the Valley to the shrine throughout the day.
