In a major relief, the Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Shrine Board has slashed the Atka Aarti fee for the pilgrims availing of the facility through online mode.
Now, four people, including two adults and two children (up to 10 years old), can attend the Atka Arti for Rs 5100, as earlier the fee was Rs 2000 per person.
“The fee for attending Atka Aarti has been reduced to Rs 5100 for four people, including two adults and two children (up to 10 years),” the Shrine Board official said here on Monday.
He said that earlier the fee was Rs 2000 per person, and the benefit of the slashed fee will be available to groups only through online booking.
“For on-the-spot booking, the pilgrims have to pay the same fee (Rs 2000 per person) and separate fees for accommodation at Bhawan,” he said, adding that accommodation facilities are included in online booking.
“After the expansion of infrastructure, 400 to 500 devotees can now attend the aarti at the same time,” he said.
