Terming the Mahakumbh a symbol of cultural awakening in the country, Prime Minister Narendra Modi acknowledged continuation of traditions across generations, highlighting how the youth of India have actively participated in the 45 days event. He said the event showcased the “profound awakening of the national consciousness.”
“Youth are embracing their traditions, faith, and beliefs with pride, reflecting a strong connection to India’s cultural heritage. When a society takes pride in its heritage, it creates grand and inspiring moments, as witnessed during the Mahakumbh,” Modi said in his statement before the Lok Sabha. Prime Minister’s statement marks a conscious effort by the government to hail civilisational aspect of the cultural events.
Prime Minister highlighted the country’s “transformative” journey as he drew a parallel between the Ram Temple opening ceremony in Ayodhya, last year, and the Mahakumbh, this year.
