PM Modi Extends Greetings To Nation 'Somnath Swabhiman Parv'

Prime Minister Narendra Modi today extended greetings to the nation on the commencement of Somnath Swabhiman Parv. In a social media post, Mr Modi said the Swabhiman Parv is about remembering the countless children of the country who never compromised with their principles and ethos. Mr Modi noted that in January 1026, Somnath faced its first attack.

 

Prime Minister said that despite repeated assaults in subsequent centuries, the eternal faith of devotees and the civilisational resolve of Bharat ensured that Somnath was rebuilt time and



again. 

Mr Modi recalled the timeless civilisational spirit that has kept Somnath alive in the hearts of millions for over a millennium.

 

The Prime Minister shared glimpses from his previous visits to Somnath and invited citizens to join the celebration by sharing their own memories using #SomnathSwabhimanParv. 

He recalled the programme held on 31st October 2001, which marked 50 years since the rebuilt Somnath Temple opened its doors in 1951 in the presence of the then President Dr. Rajendra Prasad.
