New Delhi: In a departure statement issued by PMO before Narendra Modi embarked on his visit to Nepal, the PM hoped his visit will “open a new chapter in India-Nepal relations characterised by more frequent political engagement.”
Besides official meetings, Mr Modi will also participate in a half-an-hour-long special puja at the famous Pashupatinath temple in Kathmandu on Monday.
Mr Modi will get prasadam from chief priest Ganesh Bhatta, who hails from South India. There is a tradition of having four priests and one chief priest at the temple from the bramhins of South India for centuries. Mr Modi will also offer prayers at Basuki temple.
