Hemkunt Sahib Gates Closed On October 15 Due to Winter....

The sacred portals of Hemkunt Sahib were closed on Saturday for winter. Over 1,500 pilgrims thronged Hemkund Sahib, which is located at a height of 16,000 ft, to take part in the prayers that preceded closure of its gates, said Sardar Seva Singh, Manager of the Gurudwara Trust. The Himalayan shrine is closed annually for the winter season during which the area becomes snow-bound. Around 1,75,000 Sikh devotees visited the shrine this season.
