The governor lieutenant general (retd) Gurmit Singh along with his family paid obeisance at the Chitai Goljyu temple, Jageshwar temple and Kasar Devi temple in Almora district on Saturday. He prayed for the happiness and prosperity of the people of Uttarakhand.
The governor said that the ancient and important temples in the Kumaon which will be enhanced under the Manaskhand Mandir Mala mission will be visited by a greater number of people from India and abroad.
