Vishnu Deo Sai burns effigies of Ravana, Kumbhakarna and Meghnada at Raipur\u2019s WRS Ground; says over 49,000 devotees have visited Ayodhya under Shri Ramlala Darshan Yojana<\/strong><\/h3>\n

TFP Bureau, Raipur, October 20, 2026: Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai on Tuesday said Vijayadashami conveys the timeless message that truth, righteousness, justice and humanity ultimately triumph over evil, urging people to follow the ideals of Lord Shri Ram in their personal and public lives.<\/p>\n

Addressing the Vijayadashami celebrations at the historic WRS Ground in Raipur, Sai used a bow and arrow to set ablaze the effigies of Ravana, Kumbhakarna and Meghnada amid chants of \u201cJai Shri Ram\u201d and the presence of thousands of people.<\/p>\n

Extending greetings to the people of the state, the Chief Minister prayed for peace, happiness and prosperity. He described Vijayadashami as a celebration of India\u2019s cultural heritage, social harmony and national unity, adding that the festival inspires people to uphold moral values and strengthen bonds within society.<\/p>\n

Sai said the annual celebration at WRS Ground had continued for more than five decades, helping preserve cultural traditions and familiarise younger generations with Indian values.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cThe life of Lord Shri Ram teaches us that no matter how difficult the path of truth may be, truth and righteousness ultimately prevail,\u201d he said, emphasising that a person\u2019s character is reflected in the choice to stand with truth, justice and humanity.<\/p>\n

Chhattisgarh\u2019s special connection with Lord Ram<\/h2>\n

Highlighting the religious and cultural significance of the festival for Chhattisgarh, Sai said the state shares a deep connection with Lord Shri Ram. Chhattisgarh is regarded as the maternal home of Mata Kaushalya, Lord Ram\u2019s mother, and is associated with traditions linked to his maternal family.<\/p>\n

According to religious beliefs, Lord Ram, accompanied by Mata Sita and Lakshmana, spent part of his exile in the forest regions of present-day Chhattisgarh. His presence remains deeply embedded in the state\u2019s folk traditions, faith and cultural identity, the Chief Minister said.<\/p>\n

He added that Lord Ram\u2019s life exemplifies sacrifice, patience, courage, self-discipline and unwavering commitment to dharma<\/em>. Despite facing adversity during his exile, he remained devoted to his duties and principles.<\/p>\n

Sai said the victory over Ravana demonstrated that determination, righteousness and collective effort could overcome even formidable power. The burning of the effigies of Ravana, Kumbhakarna and Meghnada, he added, reminds people that those who support injustice and unrighteousness ultimately face the consequences.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The Chief Minister stressed that following Lord Ram\u2019s ideals means more than worship. It requires standing up for justice, helping the weak and needy, treating others with compassion and performing one\u2019s duties with integrity. These values, he said, form the foundation of an ideal society, often described as Ramrajya<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Government highlights commitment to security and peace<\/h2>\n

Referring to national security, Sai said India had demonstrated its resolve against terrorism under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. He cited Operation Sindoor as an example of the country\u2019s stated commitment to protecting its citizens and safeguarding national interests.<\/p>\n

He said the Chhattisgarh government was working to strengthen peace, security and development across the state, including in Bastar. Creating an environment of trust and expanding development opportunities in every region remained a priority, he added.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Over 49,000 devotees visit Ayodhya under state scheme<\/h2>\n

Sai also highlighted the Shri Ramlala Darshan Yojana, launched to facilitate visits by devotees from Chhattisgarh to Ayodhya. He said more than 49,000 people from the state had visited Ayodhya Dham under the scheme to seek the blessings of Ram Lalla.<\/p>\n

The Chief Minister described the consecration of Ram Lalla at the newly constructed Ram Temple in Ayodhya on January 22, 2024, as a landmark moment in India\u2019s cultural and spiritual history. The event fulfilled a long-standing aspiration of millions of devotees, he said.<\/p>\n

He added that the state government remained committed to preserving and promoting Chhattisgarh\u2019s religious sites, cultural heritage and spiritual traditions.<\/p>\n

Concluding his address, Sai urged citizens to embrace the ideals of truth, justice, compassion, harmony and humanity and contribute to building a peaceful, secure and prosperous Chhattisgarh.<\/p>\n

Rajya Sabha MP Lakshmi Verma and Raipur North MLA Purandar Mishra also addressed the gathering. Former MLA Kuldeep Singh Juneja, Jayanti Bhai Patel, Suryakant Rathore, organising committee head G. Swami, representatives of the National Club, members of the organising committee and a large number of citizens attended the celebration.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
