While I appreciate the spiritual message, I wish our leaders would focus more on practical governance issues too. The ideals of Ram Rajya should translate into better roads, schools, and healthcare for all citizens.
The donation of ₹11 lakh to Mata Mansa Devi Trust is a wonderful gesture! Our cultural heritage needs such support. Jai Shri Ram! 🪔
As someone living in Haryana for work, it's heartening to see our cultural festivals being celebrated with such enthusiasm. The message of good over evil is universal and much needed today.
Absolutely right about materialistic lifestyle weakening human sensitivities. We need to balance modern life with our ancient values. Happy Dussehra to all! 🎯
Glad to see artists being honoured! Our traditional art forms and cultural performers deserve recognition and support. This is true celebration of our heritage.
