The Vijay Rupani-led BJP government in Gujarat has decided to seek divine intervention for good rains this monsoon. According to reports, the state government has decided to hold 41 'parjanya yagnas' to appease the rain god (Lord Indra) and the water god (Lord Varun). The 'yagnas' will be held on May 31 across 33 districts and eight major cities of Gujarat, as per reports. The decision to hold yajnas has been taken at a time when the soaring temperature is making the life miserable for ordinary people and the water resources of the state are also drying up fast.
The state government had recently undertaken a month-long drive to de-silt and deepen rivers, lakes, pond, canals and other water bodies to harvest more rainwater during the forthcoming monsoon season. These 'yagnas' will also mark the culmination of this month-long drive called ‘Sujlam Suflam Jal Abhiyaan’.
