TFP Bureau, Raipur, December 28, 2025: Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai on Saturday unveiled the State Government Calendar for the year 2026 at a brief ceremony held at his Residence Office in the state capital.

The cover page of the calendar prominently features the five revered Shakti Peeths of Chhattisgarh—Maa Bamleshwari of Dongargarh, Maa Mahamaya of Ratanpur, Maa Danteshwari of Dantewada, Maa Chandrahansini of Chandrapur and Maa Kudargarhi of Surajpur—symbolising the spiritual and cultural foundations of the state. Portraits of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai are also included. The background artistically depicts landmarks such as the ancient temples of Sirpur and Rajim, tribal traditions, Madheshwar Hill and the iconic Chitrakote Waterfall, reflecting Chhattisgarh’s rich cultural and natural heritage.
Speaking on the occasion, Chief Minister Sai said respect for ‘Matra Shakti’ and the empowerment of women remain the state government’s highest priority. Declaring 2026 as Mahtari Gaurav Varsh, he said the year is dedicated to strengthening women’s dignity, safety and economic self-reliance.
