Jabalpur, India – The Hindu New Year, also known as Chaitra Nav Varsh, is one of the most significant events on the Hindu calendar. This year, the celebration took place at Gwarighat Jabalpur and was organized by former IAS and former municipal corporation commissioner of Jabalpur, Shri Ved Prakash.

The event attracted thousands of people from all over the city and beyond, who came to participate in the various rituals and prayers that were conducted. The celebration began with the traditional sound of the shankhnaad, followed by the offering of water (ardh) to the rising sun. This was believed to bring prosperity and good fortune in the coming year. Sanskrit scholars then conducted the Swastiwachan, a traditional prayer that calls for blessings and protection from the gods.

The celebration was led by a number of Hindu priests, including Mahamandleshwar Akhileshwaranad and Narsinghdas Maharaj, who were felicitated by Shri Ved Prakash through his foundation, Lakshyabhedi. The priests led a procession of Mahaarti, a devotional song sung in praise of the gods. The celebration concluded with the beautiful sound of the shehnai and kirtan by representatives of the Isckon temple.

Shri Ved Prakash, the man behind the event, took an oath to continue celebrating the Hindu New Year and to preserve and promote Hindu culture and tradition. He emphasized the importance of not falling into the trap of the western narrative and expressed his hope that more people would join him in this endeavor.

Shri Ved Prakash is a well-known figure in Jabalpur, having brought about major developmental changes during his term as municipal commissioner. He placed a strong emphasis on environmental conservation, which led to the Dumna Nature Reserve Project, the second-largest urban forest in the country. Shri Ved Prakash’s efforts have been widely appreciated by the citizens of Jabalpur, and his foundation, Lakshyabhedi, continues to work towards promoting and preserving Hindu culture and tradition in the city.

The grand celebration of Chaitra Nav Varsh at Gwarighat Jabalpur was a testament to Shri Ved Prakash’s dedication to the city and its people. The event not only celebrated the start of the Hindu New Year but also showcased the city’s rich cultural heritage and traditions. It was a proud moment for the citizens of Jabalpur to see their city being celebrated in such a grand way, thanks to the efforts of Shri Ved Prakash and his team.
