Many cultural dance performances were held during the event and Yoga guru Baba Ramdev also felicitated guests from Nepal and spoke about the significance of Indo-Nepali culture bonds.
Speaking on the occasion, Lekhi said, “I wish for the long life of all my brothers whose wives are celebrating this festival for their husbands. In life, the two most important people in our lives are our Maa (mother) and our Guru (teacher).”
Ramdev said, “Nepali-speaking Indians also celebrate the festival. Women celebrate this festival by keeping a fast for their husbands, a great showcase of our rich culture. Except for Sikkim, the Nepali culture was getting ignored in our country, so today we have tried to organize the event to showcase the Indo-Nepalese culture.”
