An English version of a book on Raghunath Mandir, detailing historical background and architecture of the shrine located in Jammu, where a large number of devotees from all over the country come to pay obeisance, has been launched.
The book "Shree Raghunath Temple, A Unique Religious Complex" by well known Kathak artiste Shovana Narayan who translated the Hindi version titled "Shri Raghunath Temple, Jammu", that was brought out in the year 2010.
"For a person like me who has not visited the Raghunath Mandir in Jammu ever, here is a great chance to experience the beauty of the temple by just exploring some pages," said Shovana during the release of the book here recently.
The function was presided over by Union Culture Minister Chandresh Kumari Katoch and Indian Council for Cultural Relations president Karan Singh at the Bhartiya Vidya Bhawan here.
The original book in Hindi was authored by Kamal Kishore Mishra on the request of Karan Singh.
"On the demand by tourists and pilgrims the book has been printed in English also. It is much more than a guide book as a lot of research work has been done in it," Singh said.
