VARANASI: The presence of Lord Shiva of Kashi Vishwanath in the form of a movable bust will be felt in Mathura on March 11 as the renovated Rudra Kunda on Govardhan Parikrama route of Braj would be dedicated to public in presence of chief minister Akhilesh Yadav.
Chairman of Braj Foundaion, an organization involved in conservation of many heritage sites and waterbodies in Braj region, Vineet Narain informed TOI on Saturday, "The renovation and beautification of Rudra Kund is in the final stage and its dedication is proposed on March 11. A movable bust of Lord Vishwanatha along with a delegation of priests, intellectuals and scholars of Kashi will reach Mathura in a special train on March 10. A procession led by palanquin of Lord Vishwanatha will reach Rudra Kund on next day to mark its dedication in the presence of the CM."
Rudra Kund was last restored in 1933 by one Chunnilal Daga of Kolkata, who was also the Member of Lagislative Assembly (British Government), New Delhi. He even brought a canal from Palson minor irrigation canal to fill this kund. For more than five decades this kund remained completely ignored by government bodies as well as locals due to which it turned in to garbage dumping ground.
