MATHURA: President Droupadi Murmu on Saturday performed the 21-kilometre Goverdhan Parvat Parikrama in a golf cart, becoming the first President to visit the sacred town.
Goverdhan Parvat has great religious significance as it is associated with Lord Krishna. The full circle of Goverdhan is 21 kilometres, and the major sites, which come during the Parikarma, include Danghati Temple, Radha Kund, Shyam Kund, Kusum Sarovar, and Jatipura.
President Murmu will also offer prayers at Danghati Temple in Goverdhan in Mathura district of Uttar Pradesh.
On March 20, President Murmu met revered saint Premanand Maharaj at his Shri Hit Radha Keli Kunj Ashram in Vrindavan, where she engaged in a spiritual discourse and sought his blessings.
The meeting marked a key highlight of the President’s ongoing three-day visit to Uttar Pradesh, during which she has been participating in religious ceremonies and public engagements.
