Bihar Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary visited the revered Baba Harihar Nath Temple with his family on Friday, performing traditional rituals and praying for the state’s peace and prosperity. He remained inside the sanctum for nearly 20 minutes, where special पूजा was conducted. Elaborate security arrangements were put in place, and he was accorded a ceremonial guard of honour upon arrival. A large number of local residents gathered at the temple परिसर during his visit.
This visit is part of Choudhary’s continued outreach to religious institutions since assuming office. Prior to taking oath on April 15, he offered prayers at Rajvanshi Nagar Hanuman Temple, followed by a visit to Takht Sri Harmandir Ji Patna Sahib Gurudwara on April 16. Political observers view these visits as a blend of personal faith and symbolic messaging, reflecting both cultural alignment and the beginning of his new tenure.
