PM Narendra Modi reached Varanasi on Monday for a two-day visit to inaugurate the Kashi Vishwanath Corridor project. On reaching Varanasi, PM Modi first arrived at the Kaal Bhairav temple, also called the Kotwal of Kashi, to seek blessings. After this, he took a dip in the River Ganges at Lalita Ghat.
The pictures and videos show PM Modi wearing a saffron outfit and carrying a Rudraksha mala in his hands. After taking a dip in the Ganges, he offered arghya to the Sun. While people lauded PM Modi's gesture, you may not know that standing in the water up to the waist and offering Arghya to the Sun God and chanting mantras also have great health benefits.
