The ashes of Singhal, who breathed his last on November 17, were brought here by the VHP's international general secretary Champat Rai.
A huge posse of VHP activists had gathered at the Allahabad Junction this morning where Rai arrived with the ashes by a train from New Delhi.
The ashes were, thereafter, taken to Kesar Bhavan-- the local office of the VHP -- in a procession amidst fervent chants of 'Jai Shri Ram'.
Senior VHP leader and former BJP MP Ram Vilas Vedanti, the party's sitting MPs from Phulpur and Kaushambi Keshav Maurya and Vinod Sonkar respectively and the party's Kashi prant unit president Laxman Acharya were among those present at the "visarjan" ceremony.
