SHOPIAN: The sacred Hindu rituals of Hawan and Sawan Bah were successfully celebrated at the revered Tirth Raj Kapal Mochan in Shopian, drawing devotees from far and wide. The auspicious occasion was marked by fervent prayers, chanting, and offerings to the deities, seeking blessings and spiritual enlightenment. 

The celebrations were made possible by the tireless efforts of Sh. Ashok Sathoo, President of the Sanastha, and his dedicated team, who had made elaborate arrangements to ensure a smooth and spiritual experience for all devotees. The team's hard work and attention to detail were evident in every aspect of the celebrations, from the meticulously decorated ceremony areas to the seamless coordination of the rituals. 

 The Sawan Bah ceremony, a ritual offering to the ancestors, was also performed with great piety, ensuring the continued blessings of the forefathers. The celebrations were marked by a sense of community and spiritual fervor, with devotees coming together to seek the divine blessings. The successful conclusion of the Hawan and Sawan Bah celebrations at Tirth Raj Kapal Mochan in Shopian is a testament to the enduring power of faith and tradition, and a tribute to the dedication and hard work of Sh. Ashok Sathoo and his team.

We at JK Monitor are profoundly saddened by the sudden demise of our Founding Chairman, Dr. Priya Ranjan.IN LOVING MEMORY Dr Priya Ranjan

A brilliant mind who studied at Netarhat Residential School and graduated in Electrical Engineering from IIT Kharagpur before earning his PhD from the University of Maryland, Dr. Ranjan chose to return to India and dedicate his life to teaching, research and social good.

His pioneering work in networked systems, AI, robotics and biomedical applications—especially computer-vision tools for early detection of cancer and heart disease—reflected his deep belief that advanced technology must serve humanity.

For more than 15 years at JK Monitor, he remained a loyal friend, mentor and collaborator, marked by rare humility, intellectual integrity and quiet generosity. His passing leaves a void that cannot be filled. Priya, you will be deeply missed. Your life continues to remind us that knowledge finds its highest purpose in the service of others.
