Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami on Thursday visited the Bharadi Devi Temple at Gairsain during his morning walk and offered prayers at the temple.

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."

The event organised by the Bushahr Sports, Culture and Environment Association, the Bushahr Carnival, has been held continuously for the past five years, spanning the first three evenings of the four-day historic Phag Mela. Over the years, the event has evolved into not only a cultural event but also a powerful platform for local talent and a powerful way to connect youth with their rich culture.

Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami extended his heartfelt wishes to the people of the state on the occasion of Jhanda Mela today.
