Uttarakhand CM offers prayers at Maa Kalika Temple

"The festival of Navratri conveys a message of positive energy, inner strength, and unity and harmony in society. - Pushkar Singh Dhami"

Dehradun, March 23

Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami on Monday visited Maa Kalika Temple in Paltan Bazaar on the occasion of Chaitra Navratri, offering prayers and seeking blessings for the prosperity, peace, and well-being of the state and its people.

Performing rituals in accordance with tradition, Dhami described Navratri as a festival symbolising power, faith, and devotion, according to a press release. "The festival of Navratri conveys a message of positive energy, inner strength, and unity and harmony in society. I pray to Maa Bhagwati for a happy, healthy, and prosperous life for all citizens," he said while extending greetings to devotees present at the temple.

As per the release, a large number of devotees gathered at the temple premises, where the Chief Minister also interacted with people and conveyed his wishes on the auspicious occasion.

Highlighting the state government's commitment, Dhami said continuous efforts are being made to ensure that welfare schemes reach every section of society. He expressed confidence that with divine blessings, Uttarakhand will achieve new milestones of development, said the release.

Addressing the gathering, Dhami emphasised the Centre's focus on revitalising India's religious and cultural heritage under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. He cited projects such as the Kashi Vishwanath Corridor and the redevelopment of Kedarnath and Badrinath as key examples.

"The work of completely transforming the Kashi Vishwanath corridor was done under the leadership of our Prime Minister Modi. In our own state, after the 2013 disaster, the transformation of Kedarnath into 'Divya Kedar' has set an example. Now, major redevelopment work is also underway in Badrinath under a master plan," Dhami said.

He added that the construction of the Ram Temple in Ayodhya reflects India's cultural pride and spiritual awakening. The Chief Minister reiterated that preserving Uttarakhand's cultural heritage, traditions, and religious identity remains a top priority, while also asserting that demographic balance in the state will be maintained.

Concluding his address, Dhami said that with the blessings of Maa Bhagwati, India is progressing rapidly, and urged citizens to contribute towards achieving the vision of a "Developed India" by 2047.

Good to see the focus on our cultural heritage. The redevelopment of Kedarnath and Badrinath is much needed and will help pilgrims. However, I hope the government also focuses equally on basic infrastructure like roads and healthcare in the hills. Development should be balanced.

Jai Maa Kalika! 🎉 As a native of Uttarakhand, I feel proud when our leaders connect with our traditions. The mention of maintaining the state's demographic balance is crucial. Our culture and way of life in the Devbhoomi must be preserved.

Visiting from the US, I had the chance to attend Navratri celebrations in India last year. The sense of community and devotion is incredible. It's interesting to see how faith and governance are interwoven in Indian politics. Wishing well for Uttarakhand.

The message of unity during Navratri is important. While temple visits and cultural projects are good, I hope the "welfare schemes reaching every section" part is real action and not just words. Many in remote villages still wait for benefits.

Navratri always brings so much positivity! It's good that the CM took time to interact with devotees. The transformation of pilgrimage sites like Kashi and Kedarnath is truly remarkable and makes visiting so much better. Feeling proud of our cultural revival.
