Gorakhpur: The Vijayadashami festival at Gorakhnath temple commenced on Saturday with a sacred worship ceremony dedicated to Shrinathji (Guru Gorakhnath) led by Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath.

In his role as Goraksh Peethadhiswar, the Chief Minister led the rituals in traditional Nath sect attire. He offered prayers for the public welfare, following the ancient customs of the Nath sect.

After paying homage to Shrinathji, CM Yogi performed special worship of all the idols of gods installed within the temple. The morning rituals began with prayers offered to Maa Jagatjanani in the temple’s Shaktipeeth.

Subsequently, Goraksh Peethadhiswar Yogi Adityanath entered the sanctum sanctorum of Gorakhnath temple where he offered his obeisance to Mahayogi Gorakhnath and performed the aarti.

In a display of deep reverence, the CM also circumambulated the idols of Shrinathji and other deities with folded hands, praying for the happiness, prosperity, and well-being of the people of Uttar Pradesh.

The entire temple complex resonated with the sounds of traditional Nath sect instruments like the cactus, conch, drums, bells, and damru, creating a deeply spiritual and devotional atmosphere during the rituals.
