In a show of hu­mil­ity and re­spect for the Sikh com­mu­nity, In­dian Pres­i­dent Droupadi Murmu com­menced her three-day Bi­har visit yes­ter­day by first pay­ing her re­spects at Takht Sri Patna Sahib. WSN re­ports.

The In­dian Pres­i­dent chose to visit Takht Patna Sahib as the in­au­gural des­ti­na­tion of her Bi­har tour and this speaks vol­umes about her deep-rooted piety.

To Sikhs world­wide, Takht Sri Patna Sahib, also revered as Takht Sri Ha­ri­mandir Ji, stands as a tes­ta­ment to Guru Gob­ind Singh Ji’s early years and his sig­nif­i­cant birth in 1666. It’s a bea­con of Sikh spir­i­tu­al­ity and her­itage, a place where his­tory whis­pers tales of val­our, faith, and di­vine love. Com­mis­sioned by the lion-hearted Ma­haraja Ran­jit Singh in the 18th cen­tury, this Takht en­cap­su­lates the birth and early teach­ings of the tenth Sikh Guru.

As the gen­eral sec­re­tary of Takhat Sri Ha­ri­mandir Ji Patna Sahib, In­dra­jeet Singh ob­served, they had the priv­i­lege to “share the his­tory of this revered place with her.”

To the Sikh com­mu­nity and to those watch­ing, Pres­i­dent Mur­mu’s visit to Takht Patna Sahib was­n’t just a diplo­matic ges­ture; it was a pro­found salute to a rich ta­pes­try of faith, his­tory, and de­vo­tion.

In this age of pol­i­tics and power plays, it’s heart­en­ing to wit­ness a leader of the na­tion’s stature, start her tour by bow­ing her head at a revered Sikh Takht.

A Sikh devo­tee re­marked, “Pres­i­dent Droupadi Murmu did­n’t just of­fer her prayers; she of­fered a les­son in hu­mil­ity and rev­er­ence for all.”
