He noted that the event symbolically connects the holy land of Baba Vishwanath in Varanasi with Ujjain, the land of Mahakal, fostering cultural unity along the banks of the Ganga.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Welcoming Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav, officials of the cultural department, and participating artists, Yogi Adityanath emphasized the deep historical and spiritual ties between Kashi and Ujjain. Drawing a parallel from Indian tradition, he said that just as the pairs of Lord Ram-Lakshman and Krishna-Balram are revered, the association between Emperor Vikramaditya and Saint Bharthari also holds great significance in the Nath tradition. While Vikramaditya\u2019s seat of power was Ujjain, Bharthari\u2019s spiritual journey was rooted on the banks of the Ganga in Kashi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Chief Minister also highlighted the importance of Chunar Fort, located across the Ganga, stating that it is associated with the penance and blessings of Saint Bharthari. He added that the Uttar Pradesh government is actively working on the beautification and conservation of the historic fort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yogi Adityanath described the event as a confluence of two important centers of Indian tradition \u2014 Ujjain, known for its timekeeping system, and Kashi, famous for its Panchang (Hindu calendar) creation. He said this collaboration would help elevate India\u2019s ancient system of time calculation to global recognition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Referring to developments since 2014 under Prime Minister Modi\u2019s leadership, the Chief Minister said that India\u2019s traditional knowledge systems, including Yoga and AYUSH, are gaining worldwide acceptance. He also cited the grand organisation of the 2019 Kumbh Mela in Prayagraj, which witnessed participation from over 660 million devotees globally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He further mentioned that after the development of the Kashi Vishwanath Corridor and the construction of the grand Ram Temple in Ayodhya, millions of devotees from India and abroad are visiting these sacred cities every year. He credited Emperor Vikramaditya for rediscovering Ayodhya nearly 2,000 years ago and for constructing an early temple dedicated to Lord Ram.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Calling the theatrical performance more than just entertainment, Yogi Adityanath said it serves as a powerful medium to reconnect the younger generation with India\u2019s cultural values and traditions. He stressed that art, theatre, and cinema have the ability to shape society and inspire youth, urging filmmakers to promote positive role models.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Chief Minister concluded by stating that such initiatives play a vital role in reviving India\u2019s cultural legacy, including values of bravery, generosity, justice, and good governance. He appreciated the efforts of the Madhya Pradesh government, cultural departments, and artists, expressing confidence that such events will continue to strengthen India\u2019s cultural heritage and inspire future generations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Varanasi, April 2026 : Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath and Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav attended a grand theatrical performance based on the life of Emperor Vikramaditya in Varanasi, highlighting India\u2019s rich cultural heritage and unity.
