His participation deeply resonated with the local community, strengthening the bond between the leadership and the rural population.

This symbolic and heartfelt gesture by CM Dhami stands as a meaningful tribute to Uttarakhand’s agrarian roots and showcases a strong commitment to preserving its rural culture and traditional folk arts.
