Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday inaugurated ‘Panchjanya’, constructed in honour of the sacred conch of Lord Krishna, in Haryana’s Kurukshetra. He was accompanied by Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini.
Thereafter, PM Modi visited the Mahabharata Anubhav Kendra, an immersive experiential centre that features installations depicting significant episodes from the Mahabharata, highlighting its enduring cultural and spiritual significance.
PM Modi is also scheduled to participate in a special programme commemorating the 350th Shaheedi Diwas of Guru Tegh Bahadur, the revered ninth Sikh Guru.
During the programme, the Prime Minister will release a special Coin and Commemorative stamp marking the 350th Shaheedi Diwas of the revered Guru, a release said.
He will also address the gathering on the occasion. To honour the 350th Shaheedi Diwas of Guru Tegh Bahadur, the Government of India is observing a year-long commemoration.
Around 5:45 pm, the Prime Minister will perform “darshan and pooja at Brahma Sarovar”, one of India’s most sacred pilgrimage sites, said to be associated with the divine revelation of the Srimad Bhagavad Gita. This visit coincides with the ongoing International Gita Mahotsav, which is currently being held in Kurukshetra from November 15 to December 5.
PM Modi reached Kurukshetra after ceremonially hoisting the saffron flag atop the Ram Janmabhoomi Temple’s 191-foot-high shikhar in Ayodhya, symbolising the completion of the temple’s construction.
