Union Minister Meenakshi Lekhi visits Khadi Pavilion at IITF

At the Meenakshi Amman Temple, devotees gathered in large numbers in the early hours to offer prayers before the temple doors were shut.

Union Minister for Communications, Jyotiraditya M. Scindia, is set to lead the Indian delegation at the prestigious Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2026, scheduled to take place in Barcelona, Spain, from March 2 to March 5, 2026.

Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami virtually inaugurated the Khadi Holi Festival organised by the Kalash Sangeet Kala Samiti in Champawat.

The Odisha Pavilion will present the State's "Odisha - From AI to Impact" approach, highlighting how Odisha is moving beyond pilots to real-world deployments across governance, healthcare, agriculture, education, disaster management and urban infrastructure, anchored by a structured implementation model and institutional capacity.

Thousands of devotees witnessed the annual float festival, during which the float carrying the deities of Goddess Meenakshi and Lord Sundareswarar will be pulled around the Maiya Mandapam of Mariamman Teppakulam here. The event marks the culmination of the 12-day Thai Poosam festival. Every year, on the occasion of Thai Poosam, the decorated float of the Meenakshi Sundareswarar Temple is ceremoniously taken around the Maiya Mandapam at Mariamman Teppakulam.
