Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami said that today, under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, along with development, a cultural renaissance is also taking place in the country.

Whether it is the construction of Kashi Vishwanath corridor in Varanasi, the construction of Mahakal Lok in Ujjain, the construction of the divine and grand temple of Lord Ram in Ayodhya, or the world-class organisation of the grand Maha Kumbh recently concluded in Prayagraj, it is the result of the efforts of respected Modi ji that today India is being re-established as a major cultural center of the world.
