Yogi pays obeisance at Kashi Vishwanath and Kaal Bhairav

Varanasi, Apr 3 (UNI) On the auspicious occasion of Chaitra Navratri, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath offered prayers to Lord Shiva in Varanasi where he bowed his head in reverence at Kashi Kotwal Kaal Bhairav and Shri Kashi Vishwanath Temple.
As Goraksha Peethadheeshwar, the CM performed Darshan-Pooja at Kashi Kotwal Kaal Bhairav before proceeding to Shri Kashi Vishwanath Temple, where he conducted rituals by tradition. In the temple's sanctum sanctorum, he performed the Shodashopachar Puja and prayed for the well-being and prosperity of the people of Uttar Pradesh.
It may be noted that he had previously performed Puja-Archan at Kashi Vishwanath Dham, Kashi Kotwal Kaal Bhairav, and Annapurna Mata Temple on March 12.
While returning from the temple, Yogi noticed a young boy preparing lassi at a shop. Moved by the sight, he approached the child, inquired about his well-being and asked about his studies. He encouraged the child to focus on education, gifted him chocolate and motivated him to study diligently.
L&T donated five electric golf carts to Shri Kashi Vishwanath Dham to increase visitor convenience. Company officials handed the keys to Yogi, who appreciated the initiative. These golf carts will be used in the Zero Vehicle Zone to assist devotees, particularly the elderly and differently abled, in easily reaching the temple.
Temple Chief Executive Officer Vishwabhushan Mishra stated that this initiative will enhance accessibility for visitors. L&T's Domestic Marketing Head Sanjeev Sharma, Parag Jain, and other officials were present during the handover ceremony.
