He offered prayers to Gau Mata, fed her khichdi as part of the traditional ritual of Gauseva, and prayed for the peace, prosperity, and happiness of the people of Chhattisgarh.<\/p>\n<p>The Chief Minister said that Govardhan Puja is a sacred festival that expresses gratitude towards nature, cattle, and the environment. He extended his heartfelt greetings and best wishes to the people of the state on this auspicious occasion.<\/p>\n<p>After the rituals, during the distribution of prasad, CM Sai personally offered sweets to the cow attendants (Gausevaks) and honoured them for their dedicated service. Appreciating their commitment, he urged everyone to take part in the protection and preservation of cattle. The Chief Minister also inspected the facilities at the cowshed. The attendants informed him that all necessary arrangements for the care and upkeep of the cattle were in place.<\/p>\n<p>The Chief Minister said that Govardhan Puja symbolizes gratitude towards nature, food, and livestock. He described the cow as the foundation of Indian culture, deeply connected not only with rural life but also forming the core of India\u2019s economy and faith.<\/p>\n<p>He further added that the spirit of cow service and nature worship is deeply rooted in the soil of Chhattisgarh. \u201cHonouring the cow, the grain, and the earth is akin to bowing before the divine maternal force that sustains our lives. When we offer our reverence, we connect with the roots of our culture, the depths of our soul, and the true sources of prosperity,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>The Chief Minister emphasized that in Indian culture, the cow is revered as Gau Mata, and in this spirit, the state government is working to make cow protection and service a central pillar of rural development.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Raipur, October 22 Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai today offered prayers to Gau Mata
