Shimla, March 21 (IANS) Tens of thousands of devotees thronged temples in Himachal Pradesh on Saturday with the onset of the nine-day-long Chaitra Navratri festival, a holy period for the Hindus.
The hilltop Naina Devi temple in Bilaspur district, Chintpurni temple in Una district and Jwalaji and Brajeshwari Devi temples in Kangra district witnessed a huge rush, an official said.
"We are expecting 15,000 to 20,000 devotees every day during the festival," Brajeshwari Devi temple official Pawan Badyal told IANS.
