Prime Minister Narendra Modi will visit Kurukshetra in Haryana today to participate in a series of programmes marking the 350th Shaheedi Diwas of Sri Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji, the revered ninth Sikh Guru.
The Prime Minister’s visit will begin at around 4:00 PM with the inauguration of the newly constructed ‘Panchjanya’, built in honour of the sacred conch of Lord Krishna. Following this, he will visit the Mahabharata Anubhav Kendra, an immersive experiential centre that showcases key episodes from the Mahabharata, highlighting the epic’s enduring cultural and spiritual significance.
At approximately 4:30 PM, PM Modi will participate in a special programme commemorating the 350th Shaheedi Diwas of Guru Tegh Bahadur. During the event, he will release a special coin and a commemorative stamp issued by the Government of India to mark the occasion and address the gathering. The government is observing a year-long commemoration to honour the Guru’s sacrifice and legacy.
Later in the evening, at around 5:45 PM, the Prime Minister will perform Darshan and Pooja at Brahma Sarovar, one of India’s most sacred pilgrimage sites, believed to be associated with the divine revelation of the Srimad Bhagavad Gita. His visit coincides with the ongoing International Gita Mahotsav, held in Kurukshetra from November 15 to December 5.
