In Pictures: PM Modi Meditates At Vivekananda Rock Memorial In Kanyakumari

Prime Minister Narendra Modi is meditating at Dhyan Mandapam in Kanyakumari.

The first visuals released by the BJP show the Prime Minister in a trance at the Dhyan Mandapam of the Vivekananda Rock Memorial, the same spot where Swami Vivekananda meditated in 1892.

PM Modi is expected to continue his meditation until Saturday evening.

The party released pictures of the Prime Minister meditating at the memorial.

The Vivekananda Rock Memorial is located at the convergence of the Indian Ocean, Bay of Bengal, and the Arabian Sea, a place symbolic of national unity, according to BJP leaders.

After concluding the campaigning for Lok Sabha elections, PM Modi arrived in Kanyakumari on Thursday evening. He will be meditating at Dhyan Mandapam till 1 June evening, after which he will leave for Delhi.

The marathon Lok Sabha elections, spread across seven phases, will conclude on the same day, with vote counting scheduled for 4 June.

The party also released videos of PM Modi meditating as well as performing Surya Arghya.

PM Modi had taken similar breaks at the end of the election campaign in 2014 when he visited Pratapgarh, where a battle was fought between the Maratha forces led by Shivaji and the Bijapur troops under General Afzal Khan; and in 2019 when he meditated in a special cave in Kedarnath.
