CM Yogi Adityanath Janta Darshan Gorakhpur linked with Makar Sankranti rituals

The Janta Darshan followed major religious rituals at the Gorakhnath temple complex on Makar Sankranti. On 15 January, during Brahma Muhurta, Gorakshpeethadhishwar and CM Yogi Adityanath offered the traditional khichdi to Shivavatar Mahayogi Guru Gorakhnath. This ceremony followed the Nathpanth tradition. After the offering, temple doors opened for devotees in large numbers.

The khichdi offering created a strong devotional turnout, especially due to the Mahakumbh period. Crowds of devotees continued visiting the temple until late evening. Long queues formed as people waited to present khichdi with faith. According to temple arrangements, movement was regulated so that rituals continued smoothly while managing the heavy footfall.

Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said that lakhs of devotees stood in queues and offered khichdi with deep devotion to express their faith in Lord Gorakhnath. He said it was his good fortune that he too got the opportunity to offer the sacred khichdi to Lord Gorakhnath after the completion of the special morning prayer at the Gorakhnath Temple at 4 am.

The Chief Minister said that Makar Sankranti is one of the most important festivals in India’s rich tradition of festivals and celebrations. He stated that the Sun God is truly the soul of the universe, and this festival dedicated to the worship of the Sun is considered an auspicious occasion for all kinds of auspicious activities.

Yogi Adityanath further said that Makar Sankranti is a festival that is celebrated across the country in different names and forms in the east, west, north and south. In eastern India, it is observed as Bihu or Tilwa Sankranti, in western India as Lohri, in southern India as Pongal, and in northern India it is celebrated with devotion as Khichdi Sankranti.

The events in Gorakhpur combined religious activities and administrative outreach. Devotees observed Makar Sankranti rituals at Gorakhnath temple, while CM Yogi Adityanath used Janta Darshan to hear over 200 cases. The focus on strict action against land mafias and timely disposal of applications remained central to the day’s public engagement.
