Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan reached Kashi on Saturday. Here Shivraj Singh Chouhan, along with his wife Sadhna Singh, prayed for the happiness, peace and prosperity of the people of Madhya Pradesh and the country by worshiping one of the twelfth Jyotirlingas at Kashi Vishwanath temple in Varanasi.
The CM bowed before the statue of Lokmata Ahilyabai Holkar installed in the premises of Kashi Vishwanath temple. During this, the CM said that the incomparable contribution of Maharani Ahilyabai Holkar for the restoration and reconstruction of Kashi Vishwanath temple and her devotion is an ideal for all of us.
Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan tweeted and wrote, "Had the privilege of paying obeisance at the feet of Lord Ahilyabai Holkar ji, a devotee of Shiv, established in Vishwanath Corridor of Kashi. Lokmata's entire life was spent in public service, construction of temples, dharamshalas and religious places across the country. Mother has a very old relation with Kashi”.
Chouhan said, Lokmata Ahilyabai Holkar ji got the privilege of rebuilding the Kashi Vishwanath temple after the demolition of the temple by the Mughal ruler Aurangzeb. It is pleasant that after about 250 years, by the grace of Baba Bholenath, the Prime Minister also got this unparalleled happiness.
