He also said that he got an opportunity to visit where Lord Ram, Sita, and Laxman are believed to have resided.

“I have got the opportunity to come to Chitrakoot again. This is that holy land where our sages used to say that Lord Ram, Sita mata and Laxman used to dwell. I had the opportunity to visit Sri Raghuveer Mandir and Sri Ram Janki Mandir. I paid my homage to Kamath Giri mountain from the helicopter. I went to pay my floral tributes to Ranchhoddasji Maharaj and Arvind Bhai Mafatlal,” he said.

“It is difficult to express how I feel after Lord Ram Janki’s darshan, realising the ideologies of the holy men and the zeal of the students of Sanskrit Mahavidyalay,” said.
