Ganga Snan and Spiritual Offering at Har Ki Pauri

CM Rekha Gupta, accompanied by her family and key members of her team, arrived at Haridwar early Sunday morning. Her first stop was the revered Brahma Kund at Har Ki Pauri, where she took a ceremonial bath and offered prayers for the prosperity of Delhi and the country. The rituals were conducted by the Tirth Purohits (pilgrim priests) under the aegis of the Ganga Sabha.

Speaking to the media after the Ganga snan, CM Rekha Gupta expressed her deep spiritual connection with the sacred river, stating:

“I have come to this divine land of Uttarakhand after completing 100 days of service as Delhi’s Chief Minister. The Ganges is a symbol of purity and renewal. I prayed for the continuous progress of Delhi and the wellbeing of all citizens.”

Vatsalya Ganga Ashray Inauguration and Interaction with Saints

After her spiritual rituals, CM Gupta attended the inauguration of the “Vatsalya Ganga Ashray” in Kanakhal, Haridwar. The ashram, initiated by renowned spiritual leader Sadhvi Rithambara, aims to offer a nurturing environment for children and women in need. The event was graced by Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami, showcasing strong inter-state cooperation and unity.

In her address at the event, CM Gupta applauded the philanthropic work of Sadhvi Rithambara and underlined the importance of integrating social responsibility with spiritual values.

“Such institutions are a guiding light for society. They reflect the essence of compassion and our cultural commitment to caring for the underprivileged,” she stated.
