Previously, on the occasion of Easter, PM Modi paid a visit to the Sacred Heart Church in Delhi’s Connaught Place on April 9. Also, former Vice President M. Venkaiah Naidu used to invite PM Modi to his residence for Ugadi celebrations, which the former always attended with great enthusiasm.

The Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav-sponsored festival celebrated Karnataka’s culture, traditions, and history.

Previously, PM Modi was seen in August 2022 attending Ganesh Chaturthi celebrations at Union Minister Piyush Goyal’s residence. On the occasion of Buddha Purnima in May 2022, he offered prayers at the Mahaprinirvana Stupa in Kushinagar, Uttar Pradesh. He also paid an official visit to Lumbini, Nepal (the birthplace of Buddha), on the auspicious occasion.
