He stated that the program will begin at 11 AM with garlanding the statue of Maharishi Valmiki. Following the lamp-lighting ceremony, a Ramayana recitation will be performed by Virat Maharaj and Sanskrit-studying children.

While I appreciate celebrating cultural heritage, I hope the government is equally focused on education and healthcare. These events shouldn't become just political shows. The real tribute would be improving people's lives.

Great to see Sanskrit-studying children participating! Our ancient traditions need to be preserved and passed to younger generations. The Luv-Kush episode performance will be special.

Hope they maintain proper cleanliness as mentioned. Many religious events become messy afterwards. Good that CM has specifically instructed about arrangements.
