Governor Sundararajan said that the people of India are spiritually united and rejected attempts to divide them on regional lines. In his speech to university students and professors, he said, “How can we divide the people? Spiritually the people are not divided. Politically some people want to divide, but that cannot happen because this country The people are united spiritually.” , In Tamil Nadu, people do not mention Kashi and Rameshwaram (temple towns in the southern state) separately.

Before the renovation, the Kalika Mata temple in Pavagadh attracted only 4,000 to 5,000 devotees every day. But today, after renovation, it attracts around 80,000 devotees every day. So this is an example that we have before us”, Sundararajan said. Other suggestions mentioned by the Governor to boost the cultural economy include opening tours connecting cultural places and publishing books on various temples that describe their history and the miracles associated with them. “On the lines of Kisan Card (Credit), we can issue Peregrinación cards to devotees so that they can get concessions in nearby hotels or some preferences in pujas. Those things can be done”, he said. Management of major temples…we should think of opening welcome doors to address the queries of devotees coming from other states.
