The BJP leaders say Prime Minister Modi has drawn out a visionary plan to re-establish India's ancient culture on the global arena, realising the dream and ambition of crores of Indians through 'Divya Kashi – Bhavya Kashi'.
Kashi is a very ancient city, the mythological city on the banks of Mother Ganga, which originated from the hair locks of Lord Shiva. It is considered one of the holy 'Sapta puris'. This great city is mentioned in many texts, including Rigveda, Skanda Purana, Ramayana and Mahabharata and Matsya Purana.
On December 13, PM Modi will dedicate to the nation and the world the massive redevelopment and beautification of the revered Kashi Vishwanath Dham, one of the Dwadashi 'Jyotirlings' of Lord Shiva, situated in this ancient and vibrant city. The grandeur of Kashi Vishwanath Dham is magnificent, where the name of Lord Mahadev reverberates.
