It's heartening to see our leaders actively participating in and promoting our cultural traditions. Lord Ram's ideals of duty and righteousness are needed more than ever in today's world. Good message from the CM.

While I appreciate the sentiment, I hope such symbolic respect for women translates into concrete policies and safer streets for girls in Uttarakhand and across India. The tradition is beautiful, but real safety and empowerment matter more.

Good to see the CM leading by example. In our busy lives, we often forget the essence of such festivals. His words about Ram's ideals inspiring us to face challenges are very relevant. May Lord Ram bless everyone.
