From the life of Lord Shri Ram, we get to learn how religion and dignity are followed even in adverse circumstances. The purity of Mother Sita, the spirit of service of Laxman, the sacrifice of Bharat, the devotion of Hanuman ji – all these ideals inspire us to good conduct. Chief Minister Shri Dhami said that the events of Akhand Paath of holy religious texts like Ramayana purify our soul as well as make the environment sattvik and connect the society.
