The PM takes a dip in the Ganga at Varanasi.
The PMO says it was the vision of the prime minister to facilitate the pilgrims and devotees of ‘Baba Vishwanath’, who had to encounter congested streets and surroundings with poor upkeep, when they practiced the age-old custom of taking dip in the holy river, collecting Ganga jal and offering it at the temple.
‘To realise this vision, Shri Kashi Vishwanath Dham was conceptualised as a project to create an easily accessible pathway to connect Shri Kashi Vishwanath Temple to the banks of the River Ganga.’
A total of 23 buildings will be inaugurated in the phase 1 of the project.
