Seers from TN impressed by the beauty of Sangam

Prayagraj: As many as 216 seers, saints and spiritual groups from various Tamil Nadu-based temples and mutts, including Rameswaram, on Monday arrived in Prayagraj from Varanasi and visited Sangam, the confluence of Ganga, Yamuna and mythical Saraswati.
The group was awestruck by the beauty of the Sangam and said no words can describe its grandeur. Later, they offered prayers at lord Hanuman temple, Shankar Viman Mandpam and visited CSA park and Swami Nath mandir before leaving for Ayodhya. The seers, saints and priests appreciated Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s initiative of Kashi Tamil Sangamam with the claim that people of two regions will be coming closer and able to know more about each other’s cultural heritage and importance.
The group also held talks with saints and seers of Sangam city who briefed them about the importance of teerthraj Prayagraj. They showed keen interest to know about historical importance of CSA park. The district administration and police made elaborate arrangements for the delegates who were offered red carpet welcome by leaders of ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). BJP workers put chandan tilak on the foreheads of seers and saints and offered flower and garlands. BJP spokesman Rajesh Kesarwani said: “This was the second batch from Tamil Nadu who arrived Sangam city to take glimpse of Sangam, lord Hanuman temple, CSA park, Sankar Viman Mandpam. They appreciated PM’s initiative to launch Kashi Tamil Sangamam claiming it a unique convergence of the two cultures - north and south India – and strengthening the bond and unity of the two regions.”
Saints and seers said: “They feel honoured and want to visit these sites again.” They also felt enriched after acquiring adequate knowledge about Prayagraj.
They also appreciated the efforts of Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath with the claim that ‘kaam dikh raha hai’ (works done by CM Yogi Adityanath are being witnessed in the state).
Saints said: “There should be regular cultural trips between the people of two regions to know about their heritage and cultures.”
