Beautiful sentiment. Our rivers are not just water sources, they are part of our culture and faith. More such initiatives are needed to raise awareness about conservation. The pictures from the aarti must have been serene.

While respecting the river is important, I hope this isn't just symbolism. The real tribute would be concrete action to clean the Chambal, stop illegal sand mining, and ensure equitable water distribution for all farmers. Actions speak louder than aartis.

Visiting Rajasthan last year, I saw how vital the Chambal is to the landscape and communities. It's fascinating to see the cultural reverence for a river. This blend of environmental awareness and tradition is commendable.

As someone from Kota, this feels personal. The Chambal's water is everything for our farms. Glad the issue is getting attention at a high level. Now we need pipelines and canals, not just prayers. But the sentiment is correct.

The concept of seeing nature as a mother to be respected is something we need to hold onto in modern times. This is a good example for the youth. Hope the Kota Mahotsav was a success! 🪔
