Somnath Swabhiman Parv: Celebrating Heritage and Resilience

Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to participate in the Somnath Swabhiman Parv, celebrating the resilience and historical significance of the Somnath temple in Gujarat. The festivities commemorate the temple's endurance against invasions, its restoration post-independence, and the cultural consciousness it inspires.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi is scheduled to join the Somnath Swabhiman Parv in Gujarat, highlighting the resilience and historical significance of the Somnath temple. Officials stated that the celebrations will occur from January 7 to 11, with the temple town fully prepared for the festivities.

The Prime Minister expressed his anticipation to participate in the divine chanting of the Omkar Mantra and the Shaurya Yatra honoring valiant contributors to the temple's rich history. A public program and a mega drone show are also part of the planned events.
