After participating in the Prayagraj Kumbh, Naga sadhus from Shri Panchayati Mahanirvani Akhada and Atal Akhada are set to embark on a five-day Panchkroshi Yatra around Kashi. Covering five stops spaced five kos (around 15km) apart, the pilgrimage will involve overnight halts at designated temples, where the sadhus will perform traditional rituals.  

The yatra will begin at Manikarnika Ghat, with a ceremonial bath followed by prayers at the Kashi Vishwanath Temple. From there, the sadhus will travel by boat to Assi Ghat and then proceed to Kardameshwar Mahadev Temple for the first night's stay.

In the following days, the procession will visit Bhimchandi, Rameshwar Mahadev Temple, Panchon Pandava, and Kapildhara, completing the sacred circuit. The pilgrimage will conclude with the return to Manikarnika Ghat and a final visit to the Kashi Vishwanath Temple.  

Led by over 200 sadhus and guided by officials from the Akhada Parishad, including President Ravindra Puri, along with several mahants, thanapatis, and secretaries, the yatra will conclude with an official meeting to assign responsibilities before the sadhus depart for their respective destinations.
