Celebrated a day after the World Music Day, World Santoor Day marks the birth anniversary of the Saint – Musician, Santoor legend & composer, late Pandit Bhajan Sopori, who is revered as the 'Saint of Santoor' and the 'King of Strings'. The evening featured the performances of young and established artists, who mesmerised Delhiites.

Dashashwamedh & Arail ghats to see beautification initiatives

1 2 Prayagraj: In a significant step to ensure sustained upkeep of Prayagraj's most iconic riverfront ghats—Dashashwamedh and Arail, the Sadguru Swami Teun Ram Maharaj, an international organisation of the Sindhi society, has come forward to adopt both ghats. After the organisation submitted a formal request, District Magistrate Ravindra Kumar Mandar facilitated the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) involving the Municipal Corporation, irrigation department and the organisation. With this, the management of the ghats will soon be handed over to the organisation. Dashashwamedh Ghat, located along the Ganga in Daraganj, and Arail Ghat, situated on the banks of Yamuna in Naini, were recently given a major facelift by the irrigation dept as part of preparations for the upcoming Maha Kumbh. The revamp included structural strengthening, beautification, and improved access for pilgrims. Under this initiative, the organisation will carry out further beautification of both sites at its own expense. Each ghat will see an initial investment of Rs 1 crore. Plans include the construction of changing rooms for visitors, designated yoga areas where locals can participate in regular sessions under trained instructors, and installation of energy-efficient lighting to illuminate the ghats during the evenings. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Lexi Gaming Unleash Your Power.
