Mathura, 21

March (HS): President, Droupadi Murmu, was completely immersed in the spiritual

energy of Braj Bhoomi on Saturday morning. Upon reaching Govardhan, she began

the seven-kosi Parikrama of Giriraj Maharaj barefoot, conveying a unique

message of devotion, faith, and simplicity. The President was accompanied by her

family.

Before

beginning the Parikrama, President Murmu arrived at the Danghati Temple and

performed the ritualistic worship of Giriraj Ji and offered milk. During this,

the entire atmosphere resounded with chants of Giriraj Maharaj ki

Jai! Amid tight security and arrangements, the President proceeded along

the Parikrama route in a golf cart, accompanied by Agra Division Commissioner

Nagendra Pratap. Governor Anandiben Patel, Cabinet Minister Laxmi Narayan

Chaudhary, District In-charge Minister Sandeep Singh, and Govardhan MLA

Meghshyam Singh rode in another golf cart.

The towns

of Govardhan and Radhakund were decorated like a bride for the President's

arrival. Grand arches were erected at various places, and locals showered

flowers to welcome her. The President accepted greetings with folded hands and

waved, which elicited great emotion and enthusiasm from the people. During

this, the President also planted a tree, spreading the message of environmental

protection.

School

children, dressed in traditional attire, welcomed her, while students from

Sanskrit schools, with chants and welcome songs, filled the atmosphere with

spirituality. Devotees and local citizens were delighted to see the special

cleanliness and arrangements made along the entire Parikrama route, in

Govardhan, and in Radhakund town. District Magistrate CP Singh personally

oversaw the arrangements, closely monitoring every detail. It is noteworthy

that President Draupadi Murmu arrived in Mathura on the evening of March 19.

After completing the darshan, puja, and parikrama at Govardhan, she will depart

for New Delhi today. While the President's spiritual visit to Brajbhoomi

garnered praise for the administrative preparations, it also witnessed a

remarkable confluence of devotion and enthusiasm among the devotees.
