Bihar CM inaugurates development projects worth Rs 14.78 Cr at ancient Deo Sun temple in Bhojpur

Patna, Nov 14 (UNI) Bihar Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary on Saturday inaugurated development projects worth Rs 14.78 crore at the historic Deo Sun Temple complex in Tarari block of Bhojpur district through video conferencing from the Sankalp auditorium at Lok Sevak Awas here.
Extending his greetings and best wishes to the people of the state on the occasion of the Chhath festival, the Chief Minister said the inauguration of the development projects was a matter of pride and happiness for the people of Tarari and the state as a whole.
Describing the Deo Sun Temple as an ancient religious site of immense significance, Choudhary said the temple houses several centuries-old idols and attracts a large number of devotees who visit to offer prayers to the Sun God.
He said the development of the temple complex would enhance its religious and cultural importance, attract more pilgrims and tourists, and generate employment opportunities for local residents. The facilities created under the project would also make visits more convenient and comfortable for devotees.
Highlighting the cultural and religious significance of Chhath, the Chief Minister said the worship of the Sun God had been an integral part of Bihar's traditions for centuries.
"Lord Surya is the eternal source of energy and provides life and vitality to the entire universe. Chhath is a symbol of our deep faith, rich cultural heritage and respect for nature," he said.
Choudhary said the state government was committed to developing religious and cultural sites while improving facilities for devotees. Under the ''Seva Sankalp and Kayakalp Abhiyan'', various ghats were being constructed and renovated to ensure better arrangements for Chhath devotees and visitors.
He said special attention was being paid to safety, convenience and essential arrangements during the festival.
The Chief Minister also directed the concerned officials to ensure that all necessary facilities and security arrangements remained in place.
Appealing to people to celebrate Chhath with devotion, peace and communal harmony, Choudhary prayed to the Sun God for Bihar's continued progress and prosperity and for the realisation of the vision of a developed India.
During the programme, Tourism Department Secretary Lokesh Kumar Singh made a detailed presentation on the development works undertaken at the Deo Sun Temple complex.
A Chhath ghat has also been developed to facilitate devotees during the festival. In addition, the temple complex has been beautified through the construction of a boundary wall, pathways and an aesthetically designed main entrance.
The development works are expected to improve the overall infrastructure of the temple complex and make it a more attractive destination for religious tourism in the region.
