Following the flag hoisting, the temple administration continued an innovation introduced over the past two years with the worship of Bharat Mata at Bharat Mata statue located inside the Dham. This year, inspired by national leadership, a new element was added with a formal flag salutation ceremony at the site of the national flag installed near the statue. Floral tributes were offered amid damru playing and swastivaachan by shastris, followed by aarti of Bharat Mata and the national flag. Officers, staff members and members of the public associated with the temple trust participated in the programme, offering prayers for the nation’s prosperity and peace. A seminar was also organised, where participants shared their thoughts on national unity and responsibility. Officers and employees resolved to serve the nation with dedication and honesty in their respective roles and to contribute continuously to national progress and public welfare with the blessings of Baba Shri Kashi Vishwanath. During the Rudrabhishek on Monday, offerings to Avimukteshwar Mahadev were made with the national flag, while tricolour-themed decorations adorned the temple premises.
