Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday 13 Dec 2021, inaugurated the Kashi Vishwanath dham (corridor) that connects the maa ganga river to temple , terming it a “symbol of Sanatan culture of India” and placing it at the centre of the sacred geography of the country.
“The long period of slavery broke our self-confidence in such a way that we lost faith in our own creation. Today, from this 1,000-year-old Kashi, I call upon every countryman — create with full confidence, innovate, do it in an innovative way,” Mr. Modi said.
PM Modi said, today’s India had both “virasat” (heritage) and “vikas” (progress).
