Chief Minister Dr. Mohan Yadav said that Chitrakoot is not merely a place of religious significance, but a vibrant centre of our eternal cultural, social, and national consciousness. It is the sacred land of penance of Paramdham Maryada Purushottam Lord Shri Ram, where he eternally resides with Mata Janaki and brother Lakhan. He expressed his spiritual joy at having visited the holy land of Chitrakoot on the auspicious occasion of Ramnavami. On Sunday, Chief Minister Dr. Yadav performed deepdaan during the Shri Ram Prakatya Parv and Chitrakoot Gaurav Diwas celebrations, and also offered prayers to Mother Mandakini.
Chief Minister Dr. Yadav, addressing the programme held at Bharat Ghat on the banks of the Mandakini River, said that today is a truly auspicious day. On this sacred ninth day, Chitrakoot—the city of Kamtanath Ji—is celebrating its Gaurav Diwas. The entire city is illuminated by the divine glow of countless lamps adorning the ghats of Chitrakoot. From Bharat Ghat to Kamadgiri Mountain, the Kamtanath Swami Temple, and every temple, home, street, and locality in Chitrakoot, the enchanting display of light is a sight to behold. He extended heartfelt greetings and best wishes to all the residents on the occasion of Ram Navami and Chitrakoot Gaurav Diwas.
