Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta and her Cabinet ministers on Monday visited the Golden Temple in Amritsar to pay obeisance.
After paying obeisance, Rekha Gupta said she had come to offer ‘shukrana’ (thanks) following the successful organisation of Guru Tegh Bahadur’s 350th martyrdom anniversary programme at the Red Fort in Delhi.
She was accompanied by ministers Parvesh Sahib Singh, Ashish Sood, Kapil Mishra, Ravindra Indraj and Manjinder Singh Sirsa. Gupta also cleaned utensils in the periphery of the Golden Temple along with Minister Sirsa.
The event witnessed the presence of thousands of devotees who offered their respects to Guru Sahib and participated in every programme, including Gurbani Kirtan and Sankirtan.
During her spiritual visit, the Chief Minister also paid her respects at the holy Durgiana Temple and the Valmiki Temple, offering prayers for the nation’s prosperity and the well-being of the people of Delhi.
Praying for continued blessing, the chief minister said in a social media post, “After bowing my head at Sri Harmandir Sahib, my mind found satisfaction. Waheguru Ji, may You keep Your hand of grace upon everyone.” Sirsa wrote in a post, “Today, by visiting this sacred place, my mind found immense peace, and I also experienced the boundless presence and tranquillity of that ‘Akal Purkh’”.
