After performing the sacred bath, the President proceeded to Akshaya Vat, a revered site in Sanatan culture, symbolising immortality. The Puranas also highlight its spiritual significance. She then visited Saraswati Koop, a sacred well associated with Maa Saraswati.
At the Bade Hanuman Temple, she prayed for the well-being and prosperity of the nation. The temple’s Mahant and Peethadheeshwar of Baghambari Peeth, Balbir Giri, conducted the ritualistic worship and presented her with a replica of the temple as a token of reverence.
