Dhangadhi: The organizing committee has opened up about the fire at Vaidyanath Dham in Achham.

Yesterday (Saturday) a fire broke out in the Havankunda of the ongoing Kotihome Mahayagna at Vaidyanath Dham.

DSP Santosh Pathak of District Police Office Achham told Mahendranagar Post that the fire in the tank was ignited by the splash of fire and burnt to ashes. According to him, the fire broke out due to a lack of management.

But instead of admitting weakness, the organizing committee has expressed as if Vaidyanath Baba himself started the fire. Kul Bahadur Kunwar, Vice President of the main organizing committee of Vaidyanath Kotihome Mahayagna, gave this expression. He said that when Dham and Kotihome were not being promoted, it was Baba Vaidyanath who ignited the fire and made it viral.

Similarly, it is said that the Havankunda has been rebuilt and Kshama Puja will be performed. The Kotihome Mahayagna which started on 10th of February in Achham is still going on.

After 144 years, the Kotihome Mahayagna has taken place. Kotihome, which started on February 10th, will be operational till February 25th.

The Kotihome was inaugurated by President Ramchandra Paudel. Kotihome will be operational till 25th of February.
