Lucknow, 3

April (HS): Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath is set to attend a

spectacular theatrical spectacle called 'Mahanatya Samrat Vikramaditya' in

Varanasi. The event, which will take place at the BLW grounds from April 3 to

5, 2026, intends to highlight the life, justice, and golden age of the famous

Ujjain ruler from the first century BCE.

The Samrat

Vikramaditya Shodh Sansthan presents a high-tech cultural display with music,

dancing, and live animals (elephants, horses, and camels). The drama focuses on

Emperor Vikramaditya's reputation as a just ruler, as well as his role in

ushering in the Vikram Samvat era following his victory over the Shakas. The

performance will be attended by Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, Madhya Pradesh

CM Mohan Yadav, and Union Minister Gajendra Singh Shekhawat.

This

performance is part of the Madhya Pradesh government's efforts to promote

India's cultural legacy, focusing on the monarch who, according to mythology,

found ancient Ayodhya. This event is consistent with the Uttar Pradesh

government's efforts to promote religious and cultural tourism centered on

important personalities in Indian history.

His

post on X, reads as follows: “Today, I will participate in a grand drama

program being held in Kashi, based on the inspiring life of Emperor

Vikramaditya, a symbol of righteousness, justice, and good governance. This

event is a powerful medium to revive our glorious history and eternal values. I

am confident that this event, which inspires a sense of pride in our rich

cultural heritage, will provide a new perspective to the country's new

generation.”
