Prayagraj, January 14, 2025/
The art, culture, and glorious history of Chhattisgarh inspire everyone. Everyone in the country is eager to know about Chhattisgarh, which is rapidly progressing under the leadership of Chief Minister Shri Vishnudev Sai and with the guarantee of Modi. A glimpse of this can be seen at the Chhattisgarh Pavilion during the Prayagraj Maha Kumbh.
The Chhattisgarh Pavilion is located in Sector 6 of the Maha Kumbh in Prayagraj, near the Lakshmi Dwar and opposite the Bharat Government’s Kala Gram. Its entrance is designed in the shape of the Gaur Mukut, the symbol of Chhattisgarh’s identity, which is attracting devotees from afar. A picture of Chitrakote Waterfall in Bastar, known as India’s Niagara, is also displayed at the entrance. As soon as one enters the pavilion, a statue of Chhattisgarh Mahatari is installed, and to the right of the entrance, photos and information about the state’s four tutelary goddesses – Maa Mahamaya, Maa Chandrahasini, Maa Danteshwari, and Maa Bamleshwari – are displayed.
Upon entering the pavilion, on the left, the vibrant rural environment of Chhattisgarh is depicted. A complete village depicting traditional rural life, along with tribal art, culture, jewelry, and clothing, is showcased.
Before entering the Chhattisgarh exhibition, Bastar’s Dokra craft and the state animal and bird are displayed. The exhibition showcases Chhattisgarh government schemes, particularly the “Mor Awas Mor Adhikar Yojana” (My House My Right Scheme) and the ₹3100 per quintal paddy procurement scheme. Replicas of Sirpur and Jaithkham are also created to represent Chhattisgarh’s historical heritage.
To allow local people and pilgrims from across the country to get a closer look at Chhattisgarh, information about government schemes and the state of Chhattisgarh is being shared through virtual reality headsets and 180-degree videos within a dome. There is tremendous enthusiasm among local people to learn about Chhattisgarh through these technologies, and people are seen waiting in long lines for their turn.
Chief Minister Shri Vishnudev Sai is working on the vision of making Chhattisgarh a developed state, and this vision is gradually taking shape. The desire of people to know and understand Chhattisgarh is a reflection of the success of the work being done under the leadership of the Chief Minister. Seeing this, it can be said that a small Chhattisgarh is settled in Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh.
