Prime Minister Narendra Modi, on a visit to Patna for a poll campaign, paid his respects at Gurudwara Takhat Sri Harimandir Ji Patna Sahib on Monday. He paid his obeisance in Darbar Sahib, the birthplace of Sri Guru Gobind Singh. Adorned in an orange turban, PM Modi, during his visit to the Gurudwara, took part in preparing and serving the langar, while also participating in the seva of Chaur Sahib and sat in Paath for "Sarbat Da Bhala".
Visuals circulating on social media depict PM Modi personally preparing daal and rotis for the devotees present at the Gurudwara. He humbly served langar from a steel bucket, at the Gurudwara Patna Sahib.
During his visit, PM Modi also joined Ardaas and listened to Live Kirtan, immersing himself in the spiritual ambiance of the Gurudwara. He took the opportunity to do Darshan of the rare 'shastras' (weapons) used by Sri Guru Gobind Singh ji.
PM Modi further took “karah prasad”, for which he paid through digital payment mode. Prime Minister was presented with “Sanmaan Patra” by the Gurudwara Committee and a portrait of Mata Gujri Ji by Sikh Bibis.
Moreover, speaking to the media, on PM Modi's visit to the Gurudwara, former Union Minister and BJP candidate from Patna Sahib constituency, Ravi Shankar Prasad said, "It's a historic day and a matter of pride for us. Modi Ji is the first Prime Minister who visited takhat Sri Harimandir Ji Patna Sahib."
"Modi Ji cooked food at the Gurdwara, baked rotis and served the community kitchen (langar) to people with his own hands," he added.
Meanwhile, it is pertinent to note that PM Modi's visit to the Gurudwara comes a day after he held a grand roadshow in Patna. Accompanied by CM Nitish Kumar and BJP leader Ravi Shankar Prasad, PM Modi held a grand roadshow in Patna on Sunday evening, igniting a wave of excitement among supporters. The electrifying campaign, led by the Prime Minister, attracted a massive crowd eager to catch a glimpse of their leader as he stood atop a specially designed vehicle, greeting the enthusiastic spectators lining the streets. Significantly, the entire route was adorned in saffron, with BJP flags fluttering on either side, while thousands of party workers and supporters donned saffron shawls and caps, symbolizing their support for their favorite leader.
