Earlier, PM Modi extended greetings to the nation on the occasion of Navratri, calling the festival a time of devotion, courage, patience and determination, on Monday.
In a post on X, he wrote, “Heartfelt wishes to all for Navratri. This sacred festival, filled with devotion, courage, patience, and determination, brings new strength and renewed faith into everyone’s lives. Jai Mata Di!”
Highlighting the spiritual significance of the first day dedicated to Goddess Shailputri, the Prime Minister wished that “with the love and blessings of the Goddess, everyone’s life may be filled with good fortune and health.”
On the occasion of Navratri, the Prime Minister also pushed for ‘Atmanirbhar Bharat’ and ‘GST Bhachat Utsav’, saying that this Navratri is special as the “GST savings festival” aligns with India’s push for self-reliance.
“Along with the GST savings festival, the mantra of self-reliance will gain new energy during this period. Let us come together in collective efforts to achieve the resolve of a developed and self-reliant India,” he added.
The nine-day festival begins on September 22 and concludes on October 2 with Vijayadashami or Dussehra. Day 1 is dedicated to Maa Shailputri, the mountain goddess, who marks the beginning of the sacred nine nights.
