On Wednesday, special prayers were offered at all four holy shrines and major pilgrimage sites in Uttarakhand to mark Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s birthday. Priests prayed to God for the Prime Minister’s long life.
In the presence of BKTC officials, a havan was performed at Badrinath Dham, where priests prayed to Lord Badri Vishal for the Prime Minister’s well-being. Similarly, at Kedarnath Dham, priests performed Maharudrabhishek and prayed to Baba Kedar.
Priests at both shrines stated that Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s personal efforts have led to unprecedented reconstruction and development work at all four holy shrines in Uttarakhand. The Prime Minister himself has visited Badrinath and Kedarnath several times. Meanwhile, priests at Gangotri and Yamunotri shrines also performed special prayers for the Prime Minister on his birthday, attended by a large number of local residents and pilgrims.
Pilgrim priests said that under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, India’s prestige has increased abroad, and India is now in a position to provide leadership to the world. Special prayers were also spontaneously performed at other pilgrimage sites in the state.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi has a special affection for Uttarakhand, and the people of Uttarakhand also hold a special place for the Prime Minister. Today, on the occasion of his birthday, people in many places across the state spontaneously performed havans and pujas, wishing him well. I once again extend my birthday greetings to the Honorable Prime Minister on behalf of the people of the state. May Lord Badri Vishal grant him a long life.
