Modi’s Spiritual Visit to Uttarakhand Spurs Development Projects:
Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to embark on his visit to Uttarakhand, commencing with a pilgrimage to the Adi Kailash peak, a sacred abode of Lord Shiva located in Jolingkong. Following this, he will proceed to Gunji village to interact with local residents and security personnel, as per the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) itinerary.
During his journey from Naini Saini airport to a public meeting venue, cultural troupes hailing from Uttarakhand’s Kumaon region will extend a warm welcome to the Prime Minister. A 6-km road, adorned with murals and paintings, has been renovated for this purpose.
Modi will later visit the Jageshwar Dham to offer prayers to Lord Shiva and deliver a public address in Pithoragarh. The visit is also an opportunity for him to unveil various development projects, elevating the significance of the Adi Kailash tourism circuit, as mentioned by Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami in a Facebook post.
Cultural troupes from across the Kumaon region have been invited to participate in the welcome ceremony along the route from the airport to the SS Waldia sports stadium in Pithoragarh, as confirmed by organizer C.S. Chauhan.
According to the PMO’s schedule, Prime Minister Modi will arrive in Jolingkong at 8.30 a.m., departing from Bareilly. He will engage in prayer at Parvati Tal, seek blessings from Lord Shiva at Adi Kailash, and conduct a puja at the Shiva-Parvati temple in Jolingkong, guided by local priests Virendra Kutiyal and Gopal Singh. Additionally, he will receive water from the holy Mansarovar lake, presented by Nepalese traders under the supervision of Ashok Nabiyal, the patron of Rung Kalyan Sanstha.
