A grand religious procession dedicated to Lord Shri Chitragupta Maharaj took place in Prayagraj on Sunday, November 1.
Organised under the aegis of the Kayastha community, the event brought together devotees from different communities.
Religious chants and devotional celebrations filled the streets as residents welcomed the procession along its route.
The procession started at 11 AM from Major Ranjit Singh Sports Complex at Kayastha Pathshala.
Former administrative officer Dheeraj Srivastava, a founding member of Jagdish Shyam Charitable Trust, led the event.
The procession passed through Civil Lines, Pathar Girja Ghar and the High Court area before returning to Kayastha Pathshala.
A grand chariot carrying Lord Chitragupta Maharaj remained the main attraction. Devotees offered flowers and raised religious slogans along the route.
Srivastava’s active involvement attracted attention. He served in the Rajasthan administrative cadre and later worked as an Officer on Special Duty to former UPA Chairperson Sonia Gandhi.
After taking voluntary retirement, he became Priyanka Gandhi’s private secretary.
He was also associated with the planning of Priyanka Gandhi’s Ganga Jal Yatra in 2019.
Srivastava’s participation has fuelled discussions about his possible political role in Prayagraj ahead of the upcoming Assembly elections.
Some observers have considered him a potential candidate from constituencies with a significant Kayastha electorate. However, no official announcement has confirmed his candidature.
TP Singh, Dheeraj Srivastava, Sameer Shankar, Kaushalendra Nath Singh and Praveen Srivastava Dhunnu played important roles in organising the procession.
The event concluded with a message of social harmony, community unity and preservation of religious traditions.
Participation from different sections of society reinforced its broader message of cooperation and cultural solidarity.
