Devotees take holy dip in Ganga at Varanasi on Maghi Purnima

Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath issued necessary instructions during a review meeting on Thursday of the Balrampur division. He stressed the importance of enhancing security, facilities, and cleanliness for devotees at the Devi Patan Shaktipeeth.

According to an official statement from the Chief Minister's office, "sacred land of the Ganga River, Yamuna River, the Char Dham, Adi Kailash and several revered Shakti Peeths, Uttarakhand has long been a center of faith for Sanatan followers across the world. In this context, the state government is making efforts to promote Uttarakhand as a major hub for religious and spiritual tourism and pilgrimage, which is also expected to boost economic activities in the state."

With the pious blessings of Shri Banke Bihari Ji, Suyogya Media Pvt. Ltd. has successfully taken the deity LIVE, marking the first time in the temple's history that devotees can experience darshan through a structured digital platform. This historic step, taken by the temple authorities and administration, thoughtfully adapts a long-standing tradition for the benefit of devotees who are unable to visit Vrindavan in person.

Speaking ot reporters, he said, "Heartfelt greetings of Holi to all the countrymen. May peace be established throughout the world. May everyone live in peace and harmony. These are my heartfelt wishes on the holy festival of Holi."

The CM said, "I extend heartfelt greetings to everyone. Preserving this thousand-year-old legacy, India's ancestors have handed it over to us. The current generation is carrying this forward with the same energy. The entire state is connecting to this holy festival," adding that efforts are underway to ensure a harmonious society.
