A senior official said September 11 was auspicious as "Naag Panchami" would be observed on that day. The stars would in the right conjunction to restart the prayers that were halted after flash floods ravaged the area June 16.
The floods occurred at a time when the Char Dham pilgrimage — when tens of thousands of believers make it to Kedarnath and three other ancient temples in the hills — was at its peak.
