Governor’s Blessings:
"Through the West Zone Cultural Centre, I had the privilege of witnessing an extraordinary display of folk art. After offering prayers this morning, the diverse performances by these artists truly captivated my heart. Our Prime Minister Narendra Modi often says that while we progress, we must not abandon our heritage. I believe that the remarkable presentation of our cultural legacy showcased here deserves great appreciation. I extend my heartfelt congratulations to the artists and best wishes to the officials.
I feel delighted to have witnessed a glimpse of a ‘Mini India’ here. I have come from Assam, and I pray to Maa Kamakhya to bless you with strength so that through such beautiful performances, the name of Rajasthan continues to shine across the nation and the world. Many congratulations and best wishes."
