Varanasi, June 24: Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath began his Tuesday morning with a spiritual sojourn in Varanasi, offering prayers at the sacred Kashi Vishwanath Dham for the well-being of the people. He then proceeded to the Sankat Mochan Hanuman Temple, where he paid homage to Lord Hanuman amidst resonant chants and Vedic rituals, participating in the traditional aarti with deep reverence.

Earlier on Monday, CM Yogi began his two-day trip to Varanasi with a visit to the Kaal Bhairav Temple — known as the ‘Kotwal of Kashi’ — where he paid obeisance as per ritual tradition. Continuing his spiritual engagements on Tuesday, the Chief Minister reached the sanctum sanctorum of Kashi Vishwanath Dham at dawn. Performing the sacred Shodashopachar puja, he prayed for peace and prosperity in the state.

Notably, the meeting of the Central Regional Council is scheduled for Tuesday at Hotel Taj. Union Home Minister Amit Shah, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav, Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami, and Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai will take part in the meeting.

During the prayers and rituals, Cabinet Ministers Swatantra Dev Singh, Anil Rajbhar, Minister of State (Independent Charge) Ravindra Jaiswal, MLAs Saurabh Srivastava and Awadhesh Singh, Swami Santosh Das, Mahant Vishambhar Nath Mishra of Sankat Mochan Temple, and others were present.

CM Yogi had visited Kashi last on June 16. On that day too, he reviewed preparations for the Central Regional Council meeting and offered prayers at Baba Vishwanath Temple.
