He said that the divine darshan of Baba Barfani is an unforgettable and deeply auspicious experience in the lives of millions of devotees.
The Prime Minister also urged devotees to take five resolutions during the pilgrimage. These include maintaining cleanliness throughout the Yatra, strictly following all safety and administrative guidelines, supporting the local economy by spending at least ten per cent of their travel expenses on local products under the Vocal for Local initiative, gifting a sapling to a sibling on Raksha Bandhan to promote the Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam campaign, and carrying the spirit of Nation First by performing their duties with honesty and contributing to the vision of a Viksit Bharat.

He prayed for the safety and well-being of all devotees and wished that the blessings of Baba Amarnath inspire renewed energy, spiritual strength and greater dedication towards building a developed India.
