A global showcase of India’s rich  cultural heritage & traditions: Yogi

Monday, 20 January 2025 | PNS | Mahakumbh Nagar

Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed the nation on Sunday in the first Mann ki Baat programme of the year, where he prominently mentioned Maha Kumbh 2025, describing it once again as “Ekta ka Maha Kumbh”.

Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath expressed his gratitude to Prime Minister Modi for discussing the significance of Maha Kumbh in his address.

Taking to social media, Chief Minister Yogi stated that the prime minister has guided the nation by emphasising the social, cultural and spiritual importance of Maha Kumbh. He called it a living symbol of India’s unity and a grand gathering that represents spirituality, equality and harmony.

Chief Minister Yogi further noted that under Prime Minister Modi’s leadership and vision, Maha Kumbh 2025 in Prayagraj is serving as a global showcase of India’s rich cultural heritage and traditions.

On the increasing participation of youth in the Maha Kumbh, the chief minister said that the prime minister’s message to the youth to follow their civilisation and culture with pride will inspire them to connect with the spirit of ‘Ek Bharat Shreshtha Bharat’.

During his Mann ki Baat programme, Prime Minister Modi reflected on the uniqueness of Maha Kumbh. He said the auspicious beginning of the grand event had already brought together an unforgettable crowd and an extraordinary display of equality and harmony.

Maha Kumbh is a festival that transcends all forms of discrimination, caste, and economic barriers. People from all over India and from all over the world gather on the sacred sands of the Sangam. Whether rich or poor, everyone takes a dip in the holy confluence, shares meals in bhandaras and receives prasad, embodying the true spirit of unity, he added.

Prime Minister Modi further highlighted how Maha Kumbh binds the nation through sacred traditions, from north to south and east to west. He connected the event to other cultural gatherings such as Pushkaram, celebrated in South India along the rivers Godavari, Krishna, Narmada and Kaveri. These traditions, he said, strengthen the thread of unity that runs through India.

He expressed happiness and satisfaction over the significant participation of youth in the Maha Kumbh. He noted that this time, the youth’s involvement in the Kumbh is remarkably extensive. He emphasised that when the younger generation connects with their civilisation with pride, it strengthens their roots and secures their golden future. He also highlighted the large-scale digital footprint of this year’s Kumbh, remarking that its global popularity is a matter of pride for every Indian.

Describing festivals as a medium of social interaction, Prime Minister Modi highlighted the recent grand fair organised at Gangasagar in West Bengal. On the auspicious occasion of Makar Sankranti, lakhs of devotees from across the globe participated and took a holy dip during the fair.

He noted that festivals like Kumbh, Pushkaram and Gangasagar Mela play a significant role in fostering social interaction, harmony and unity. “These celebrations connect people to India’s rich traditions and, just as the scriptures emphasise dharma, artha, kama, and moksha, our festivals also strengthen the spiritual, social, cultural and economic fabric of society,” he remarked.
