Birthplace of Bhagwan Parshuram to be developed in a grand and divine manner
Development works worth Rs 17.41 crore to be undertaken
Sites associated with Shri Krishna in state to be developed as grand pilgrimage centers under “Shri Krishna Pathay”
Gambhir and Ajanar rivers in the Janapav pilgrimage area to be revived
CM announced that “Shri Parshuram–Shri Krishna Lok” will be developed at Janapav, the birthplace of Bhagwan Parshuram, at a cost of Rs 17.41 crore. This project will serve as a major spiritual, cultural, and tourism center, spreading the philosophical teachings of Bhagwan Parshuram and Bhagwan Shri Krishna among the masses, and giving Janapav a distinct national identity.
The Chief Minister was addressing the ‘Parshuram Prakatotsav’ held at Janapav in Indore district on the auspicious occasion of Bhagwan Parshuram Jayanti. He also offered worship at the Parshuram temple, praying for prosperity and happiness in the state, and inaugurated an exhibition based on Mahabharata-era weapons and the art of Chakravyuh.
Seven rivers originate from Janapav
Dr. Yadav noted that more than seven rivers originate from the Janapav region, including the Chambal, Gambhir, Ajanar, and Choral rivers. Under the Jal Ganga Conservation Campaign, he directed the preparation of an action plan to revive the Gambhir and Ajanar rivers. He emphasized that rivers are like the arteries of Mother Earth, and ensuring their conservation, revival, and continuous flow is a collective responsibility. Revived rivers will help irrigate thousands of hectares of agricultural land.
A grand museum will be constructed at the proposed Lok
He further announced that a grand museum will be constructed at the proposed Lok in Janapav, showcasing its mythological significance. It will include galleries such as the Weapons Gallery, Origin Gallery, Form Gallery, Balance Gallery, and Meditation Gallery, presenting various dimensions of the lives of Bhagwan Parshuram and Bhagwan Shri Krishna. The complex will also feature bronze statues of both deities, a 30-foot-high grand entrance gate, a storytelling stage, gazebos, viewpoints, landscaping, pathways, and other infrastructure.
Dr. Yadav added that the state government is developing sites associated with the life of Shri Krishna as “Shri Krishna Pathay,” transforming them into major centers of faith and tourism.
The event featured cultural performances, devotional singing, and a theatrical presentation titled ‘Parshuram Natya Leela,’ vividly portraying the life and grandeur of Bhagwan Parshuram, creating an atmosphere of devotion and cultural celebration.
