Uttarakhand’s Haridwar transforms into a fortress of faith today for the Sapt Rishi Ashram’s Guru Samadhi and statue reveal ceremony. Headliners include Rajnath Singh, Yogi Adityanath, and host CM Pushkar Singh Dhami, signaling a high-profile spiritual milestone.
The ashram’s Friday climax follows intensive preparations. Defence Minister Singh touches down at 11 AM at the airport, motoring to the site by 11:30. Yogi arrives for the key sant conference, joining UP Dy CM Brajesh Pathak, who bathed in Ganga and tweeted reverence: Ganga as spirituality’s vessel, granting bliss, wellness, and public good.
Pathak elaborated on Ganga’s divine aura—immaculate, liberating, a realm of faith and tranquility. Uttarakhand Speaker Ritu Khanduri attends the samadhi site for saintly darshan, with pan-India sadhus ensuring a spectacular close.
VVIP influx demands ironclad security: Haridwar officials deploy extensive personnel around the ashram, Bharat Mata Temple, and routes. Traffic diversions and checkpoints minimize disruptions.
This isn’t just a ritual; it’s a cultural beacon, where leaders pay homage to guru parampara amid Ganga’s flow. The event spotlights Haridwar’s enduring spiritual magnetism, promising memorable moments for attendees and viewers alike.
