Prime Minister Narendra Modi responded to a post by Bollywood legend Amitabh Bachchan regarding the former's visit to Parvati Kund and Jageshwar Temples. PM Modi also extended an invitation to Mr. Bachchan to visit the Rann Utsav in Kutch, Gujarat, and the Statue of Unity in Vadodara.

Many users inquired about his well-being and the reasons for not being able to go there.

Responding to Mr. Bachchan's post, Prime Minister Modi stated, "My visit to Parvati Kund and Jageshwar Temples was truly mesmerizing. In the coming weeks, Rann Utsav is starting, and I would urge you to visit Kutch. Your visit to the Statue of Unity is also due."

Meanwhile, PM Modi conducted prayers at Gauri Kund, a significant holy site for Hindus in the Pithoragarh district of Uttarakhand. On October 12, he began a daylong visit to the border state by observing the Adi Kailash peak, believed to be the abode of Lord Shiva. He was dressed in traditional attire, complete with a white turban and an upper body garment called 'ranga.'

During his visit, PM Modi performed aarti at the Shiva Parvati temple along the banks of Parvati Kund in Jolingkong and meditated with folded hands in front of the Adi Kailash peak.
