Prime Minister Narendra Modi concluded his 11-day fast after performing the 'Pran Pratishtha' rituals in Ayodhya on Monday, marking the end of a spiritual journey. Breaking his fast with a sip of 'charnamrit,' the Prime Minister embraced a moment of significance.
The charnamrit, a sacred concoction, comprises five essential ingredients: yogurt (dahi), milk, honey, tulsi (Indian holy basil), and ghee. This ritual holds cultural and religious importance, symbolizing purity and divine blessings.
The 11-day fast, a prelude to the Pran Pratishtha ceremony, showcased the Prime Minister's commitment to spiritual practices. Throughout this period, his sustenance consisted solely of coconut water, emphasizing discipline and austerity. Nights were spent in simplicity, with the Prime Minister choosing to sleep on the floor.
In Ayodhya, the culmination of the fast marked not just a religious event but a testament to the Prime Minister's dedication to tradition and spirituality. The 'Pran Pratishtha' rituals, coupled with the breaking of the fast through 'charnamrit,' encapsulated a moment of spiritual significance and cultural reverence.
