Raipur. Chhattisgarh: According to the tradition, Chief Minister Shri Bhupesh Baghel, every year for the good wishes and good luck of the state, and for the destruction of obstacles, bears the blow of Kush. Even today, he performed this tradition in village Janjgiri. The villager, Mr. Birendra Thakur, attacked him with a sote. In this regard, the villagers tell that it is an ancient tradition that hitting Sota in this way is the destroyer of obstacles as well as brings happiness and prosperity.
On this occasion, the Chief Minister told the villagers that every year Shri Bharosa Thakur used to strike. Now this tradition is being followed by his son Shri Birendra Thakur. In discussion with the villagers, he said that Govardhan Puja is the worship of the tradition of prosperity of the cow dynasty, the more prosperous the cows are, the more we will progress. This is the reason why Govardhan Puja is so popular in rural areas. People wait for it throughout the year, in a way this worship is also a symbol of our gratitude towards the cow.
Every year I reach among you guys early in the morning and I feel very happy. Govardhan Puja is a folk festival tradition. Our ancestors have created very beautiful little traditions and through these traditions our lives are filled with joy. Today, reaching amongst all of you and seeing this joyful crowd, my heart is also filled with joy. Govardhan Puja and Gaura Gauri Puja is a celebration of deep affection for the soil. Feeling happy seeing your faces full of joy. How culturally rich our state is and how we are saving this cultural richness as a heritage.
On this occasion, the Chief Minister said that it is the duty of all of us to preserve the identity of our soil and promote it. How many beautiful traditions our Chhattisgarh has. There was a apprehension that gradually these traditions might not be forgotten. In discussion with the villagers, the Chief Minister said that we have taken a pledge that we will give topmost place to our cultural traditions in our system because we also exist through tradition.
We also have values from tradition. The Chief Minister said that the festivals of our rural culture are festivals to promote agriculture. Through festivals we connect to the ground. The Chief Minister also participated in Gaura Gauri Puja on this occasion and addressed the people who had come. He said that you are expressing such beautiful worship and after this the gaiety of the festival. It always makes me happy to be among you guys and I always look forward to this opportunity, on this occasion I wish
