Dehradun, Nov 7 (IBNS): Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday prayed on the banks of River Bhagirathi river in Uttarakhand.
"On the banks of the pristine Bhagirathi river, praying to Maa Bhagirathi. Felt extremely blessed," Modi tweeted.

On the occasion of Diwali, Prime Minister Narendra Modi visited Kedarnath on Wednesday.
He offered prayers at the historic Kedarnath Temple.
He extensively walked around the entire temple complex, where significant reconstruction works are in progress.
He was briefed by senior officials about the progress of the works.
