The Madhya Pradesh government announced a Diwali‑style celebration on September 17, lighting "blessing lamps" in every village and ward to mark Prime Minister Narendra Modi's birthday.
Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan said the state will observe Prime Minister Narendra Modi's birthday on September 17 with a Diwali‑like ceremony. Across all villages and municipal wards, residents will light specially designated "blessing lamps" to honor the occasion. The initiative aims to foster a sense of unity and gratitude among citizens while highlighting the cultural significance of the festival of lights.
State officials have instructed local bodies to coordinate the distribution of lamps and ensure safety protocols during the lighting. Public spaces, community halls and temple courtyards are expected to host the collective illumination, creating a synchronized display of light throughout Madhya Pradesh.
The celebration aligns with the government's broader effort to commemorate national leaders through community-driven events. Organisers anticipate strong participation, with media outlets planning to cover the visual spectacle as a symbol of regional solidarity on the Prime Minister's birthday.
