Rajasthan Deputy Chief Minister Diya Kumari paid floral tributes to Guru Gobind Singh at Sarvtobhadra Chowk in the City Palace. She remarked that Guru Gobind Singh’s legacy of sacrifice, martyrdom, and bravery would forever inspire generations.
During the event, the Deputy Chief Minister also performed a ceremonial worship of Guru Gobind Singh’s historic sword, which is preserved at the City Palace in Jaipur.
As part of the Prakash Parv celebrations of Guru Gobind Singh, his personal sword has been displayed at Sarvtobhadra Chowk for visitors, tourists, and the public to admire. Guru Gobind Singh, who once stayed in Nahan in Himachal Pradesh’s Sirmour district, had gifted his sword to the then ruler as a token of remembrance. Rajmata Padmini Devi, originally from Nahan, brought the sword to Jaipur a few years ago.
Taking to social media platform X, Diya Kumari wrote, “Today, on the 358th Prakash Parv of Shri Guru Gobind Singh, I paid my obeisance to Guru by offering floral tribute to his picture at Sarvatobhadra Chowk in the City Palace and had the privilege of worshipping Guru Ji’s historic sword (Shri Saheb) situated in the City Palace.”
