Offering prayers at the revered Ramkund on the banks of the Godavari River, PM Modi also showcased his musical talents by playing instruments at the Kalaram temple, displaying a deep devotion to Lord Shri Ram.
Wonderful confluence of tradition and technology
This unique confluence of tradition and technology continued as PM Modi participated in the puja program and listened to the recitation of the Ramayana’s ‘Yudh Kand’ section at the temple institute. The recitation, delivered in Marathi, was seamlessly translated into Hindi for the Prime Minister through AI technology, highlighting the harmonious integration of ancient tales with modern advancements.
Floral tribute
