Chief Minister Vishnu Dev Sai of Chhattisgarh extended warm greetings to the people on the occasion of Rajim Kumbh Kalp and Shivrinarayan Mela. He noted that the Rajim Kumbh Kalp, commencing on February 12 at the confluence of the Mahanadi, Pairi, and Sondur rivers, stands as a testament to the state’s spiritual consciousness, showcasing its rich culture and traditions.

He pointed out that Rajim, often referred to as the ‘Prayag of Chhattisgarh,’ has served as a hub of faith for devotees and the saint community for centuries. The state government has revitalized the ‘Rajim Maghi Punni Mela,’ restoring it to its former glory and renaming it ‘Rajim Kumbh Kalp.’ This initiative is more than just a religious event; it represents a significant step toward safeguarding and promoting Chhattisgarh’s rich cultural and spiritual heritage.

Furthermore, Chief Minister Sai assured that Chhattisgarh’s Prayag is thoroughly prepared to welcome devotees to the Rajim Kumbh Kalp. The festival will feature gatherings of saints, religious discussions, vibrant folk culture displays, and a distinct spiritual atmosphere. Many devotees from Chhattisgarh and neighboring states are expected to attend to seek spiritual blessings.

Sai also mentioned the Shivrinarayan Mela, set to be held on the auspicious occasion of Magh Purnima at the confluence of the Mahanadi, Shivnath, and Jonk rivers. He characterized it as a symbol of faith and devotion.
