उत्तराखंड में पिथौरागढ़ के पवित्र पार्वती कुंड में दर्शन और पूजन से अभिभूत हूं। यहां से आदि कैलाश के दर्शन से भी मन आह्लादित है। प्रकृति की गोद में बसी अध्यात्म और संस्कृति की इस स्थली से अपने देश के सभी परिवारजनों के सुखमय जीवन की कामना की। pic.twitter.com/iIEpO0Cta0

In a post on X, Modi said: “Our government is committed to the welfare of each and every individual of Devbhoomi Uttarakhand and the state’s rapid development. To impart more speed to it, I will inaugurate and lay the foundation stone of several projects in Pithoragarh.”
“I will also get the good opportunity of interacting with the people of Gunji village. I also look eagerly forward to a darshan of the spiritually significant Parvati Kund and and a puja at Jageshwar Dham during the tour,” he said.
Cultural troupes from Uttarakhand’s Kumaon region will welcome Modi at several points of a renovated 6-km road decorated with murals and paintings as he travels from the Naini Saini airport to a public meeting venue.
Modi will begin his visit with a darshan of Adi Kailash peak, the abode of Lord Shiva, at Jolingkong from where he will head to Gunji village. There he will meet locals and security personnel, officials said citing an itinerary released by the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO).
He will then offer prayers to Lord Shiva at the Jageshwar Dham and address the public meeting in Pithoragarh.
