MP CM Mohan Yadav offers prayers at Brihaspati Gurudev Temple in Ujjain

Madhya Pradesh CM Mohan Yadav offers prayers at Brihaspati Gurudev and Mahakal temples in Ujjain, seeking blessings for the successful Simhastha fair in 2028.

"The Simhastha 2028 fair is going to be absolutely amazing and all possible efforts are being made to make it successful. - Mohan Yadav"

Ujjain, January 15

Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav on Thursday offered prayers at the Brihaspati Gurudev Temple in Ujjain district and sought blessings of the lord.

CM Yadav along with his Seema Yadav reached inside the sanctum sanctorum of the temple and performed with worship rituals.

Speaking to reporters on the occasion, the Chief Minister said, "Today, I took the blessings from Lord Jupiter and I wished that Simhastha, which is one of the world's biggest fairs, would be celebrated with profound pride and dignity. After Sankranti, Uttarayan starts, which fulfils everyone's wishes."

Simhastha is a Hindu religious Mela held every 12 years in Ujjain district, Madhya Pradesh. It is also known as the Ujjain Simhastha Kumbh and the previous Simhastha was held in 2016.

"The Simhastha 2028 fair is going to be absolutely amazing and all possible efforts are being made to make it successful. In this episode, today, I offered prayers at Brihaspati Gurudev Temple here in Ujjain for the successful execution of Simhastha. Slowly and gradually all the ongoing works will be complete and along with this, we are working on some other works as well," he added.

Earlier on Wednesday evening, CM Yadav along with his wife offered prayers at Mahakaleshwar temple on the occasion of Makar Sankranti. He performed worship rituals inside the sanctum sanctorum of the Mahakal temple on the occasion.

The Chief Minister prayed for the happiness, prosperity, peace and development of the State and the nation. The temple priests conducted the rituals in accordance with traditional customs and rituals.

"The festival of Makar Sankranti holds great significance as day time increases and night hour decreases from this day. In our culture, Uttarayana also has special importance. This is the city of Baba Mahakal. May Baba Mahakal's blessings bring prosperity and joy to everyone's life, may our government remain continuously engaged in welfare works--with this sentiment, I had darshan," CM Yadav told reporters after offering prayers at Mahakal temple.

While respecting his faith, I hope the administration is equally focused on the ground realities. Ujjain needs better infrastructure, especially with such a huge fair coming. Prayers are good, but concrete action plans for crowd management, sanitation, and security are what will make Simhastha truly successful.

As someone who visited the last Simhastha, it's a magnificent event but also a logistical challenge. I appreciate the CM's spiritual outreach, but the proof will be in the execution. Hope the planning starts now to avoid the chaos we saw last time.

Good to see our leaders connected to our cultural roots. Makar Sankranti and Uttarayan are indeed auspicious times. His wishes for the state's development alongside his prayers reflect a balanced approach. May Baba Mahakal bless Madhya Pradesh.

These visits are fine, but I hope they are not just for photo-ops. The real blessing for the people would be timely completion of development works he mentioned and ensuring the Simhastha fair benefits local businesses and pilgrims alike, not just becomes a political event.
