Chief Minister Dr. Yadav obtained information about the nature of the cultural event to be held in Ramghat, Dutt Akhara area on the evening of 16th June. This programme will be organised by Maharaja Vikramaditya Research Institute. On this occasion, a special booklet apprising about the importance of Kshipra River and its cultural splendour will also be released. An audio-video CD focusing on Sadanira will also be launched.
Programmes will be held on banks of other rivers
Along with the dignified organisation of Kshipra Parikrama, Ganga Dashami programme, Dr. Yadav also gave instruction to organise cultural programmes, exhibitions and water sports activities on the banks of other major rivers of the state like Narmada, Chambal, Tapti, Sone, Sindh and Banganga etc. Simultaneously, work of cleaning the divine places situated on the banks of rivers and sanitizing the temple premises should be done.
CM said that for the last twenty years, Kshipra Parikrama and Ganga Dashami are being organised in which the enlightened citizens of the society, common citizens and scholars of history and archeology also participate. It is also a festival symbolizing social harmony. Presentation of bhajans and other cultural programmes is its specialty. By expanding this rich tradition in the entire state, the idea of organising events on the ghats of other rivers also should be realized with the participation of citizens.
