PM Modi begins 45-hour meditation session at Vivekananda Rock Memorial in Kanyakumari
Upon arriving from Thiruvananthapuram, PM Modi worshipped at the Bhagavathi Amman temple, and then began his meditation, scheduled to continue until June 1.
Dressed in a dhoti and a white shawl, PM Modi prayed at the temple. The priests performed a special 'arthi'
The PM showered flowers on the portraits of Ramakrishna Paramahamsa, Sri Sarada Devi, and paid floral tributes to Swami Vivekananda, whose life-size statue stands on a high pedestal in the mandapam.
Before his departure on June 1, PM Modi is expected to visit the Thiruvalluvar statue, located next to the memorial.
Heightened security has been made for PM Modi's 45-hour stay at the esteemed memorial named after the revered Hindu saint.
In 2019, following the end of his campaign for the Lok Sabha elections, the PM chose a cave in Kedarnath for meditation. Now, he has selected a spiritually significant location at the southernmost tip of India.
