Chhattisgarh – The place where Lord Shri Ram lived in exile, special arrangements for Ram devotees in Maha Kumbh
Chief Minister Shri Sai said that most of the time of Lord Shri Ram’s exile period was spent in Chhattisgarh, and here he is respected as “Bhancha”. He informed that the Chhattisgarh government has so far provided the privilege of darshan of Shri Ramlala in Ayodhya Dham to more than 20,000 Ram devotees under the “Shri Ramlala Darshan Yojana”. Along with this, Chief Minister Shri Sai, while underlining the importance of Prayagraj Mahakumbh, said that this auspicious coincidence has come after 144 years, and the Chhattisgarh government has made special arrangements of ‘Chhattisgarh Pavilion’ in Mahakumbh for the devotees. Free accommodation, food and other facilities have been provided in this pavilion, so that the devotees going from Chhattisgarh can bathe, have darshan and perform religious rituals conveniently.
Congratulating all the organizers for the successful organization of Shrimad Bhagwat Katha, the Chief Minister said that such spiritual events spread positive energy and religious consciousness in the society.
On this occasion, organizers of Shrimad Bhagwat Katha including Mr. Bhupendra Savnani, Mr. Rajiv Agarwal, Mr. Saral Modi, local dignitaries and a large number of devotees were present.
