PM Modi said, there is an effort – Project Pari, now do not get confused by hearing the word Pari, this Pari is not connected to heavenly imagination but is making the earth heaven. Pari means Public Art of India, Project Pari is becoming a big medium to bring emerging artists on one platform to popularize public art. You must have seen very beautiful paintings on the roadside, on walls and in underpasses. These paintings and these art works are made by the same artists who are associated with Pari.

PM said, while this enhances the beauty of our public places, it also helps in making our culture more popular. Take for example Bharat Mandapam in Delhi. Here you will get to see amazing art works from all over the country. You can also see such beautiful public art on some underpasses and flyovers in Delhi. I would request art and culture lovers to also work more on public art. This will give us a pleasant feeling of being proud of our roots.

In Mann Ki Baat, PM also mentioned Paris Olympics. He said that at this time Paris Olympics is the talk of the town all over the world. Olympics gives our players a chance to hoist the tricolour on the world stage, gives them a chance to do something for the country. You too should encourage your players, cheer for India.

Have you heard the name of Charaideu Madam?

He further said that in ‘Mann Ki Baat’, now I want to share the topic, after hearing which every Indian’s head will rise with pride. But, before telling about it, I would like to ask you a question. Have you heard the name of Charaideu Madam? If not, then now you will hear this name again and again and will tell others with great enthusiasm.

This will be India’s 43rd site in this list, but the first site from the North East

Charaideo Maidam of Assam is being included in the UNESCO World Heritage Site. In this list, it will be the 43rd site of India, but the first site of North East. This question must be coming in your mind that what exactly is Charaideo Maidam, and why is it so special. Charaideo means Shining City on the Hill. It was the first capital of the Ahom dynasty. The people of the Ahom dynasty traditionally kept the bodies of their ancestors and their valuables in Maidam.

‘This Maidam is a symbol of respect to the late kings and dignitaries of the Ahom kingdom’

Maidam is a mound-like structure, covered with soil on top and has one or more rooms below. This Maidam is a symbol of reverence for the late kings and dignitaries of the Ahom kingdom. This way of paying respect to one’s ancestors is very unique. Community worship was also held at this place.

Other information about the Ahom Empire will surprise you even more

PM Modi said that other information about the Ahom Empire will surprise you even more. Starting from the 13th century, this empire lasted till the beginning of the 19th century. It is a big thing for an empire to exist for such a long period. Perhaps the principles and beliefs of the Ahom Empire were so strong that it kept this dynasty alive for so long. I remember that on March 9 this year, I had the privilege of unveiling the tallest statue of the great Ahom warrior Lasit Borphukan, a symbol of indomitable courage and bravery. During this program, I had a different experience while following the spiritual tradition of the Ahom community.

‘It is a great thing for me to have the opportunity to pay respect to the ancestors of the Ahom community at Lasit Maidam’

It is a great honour for me to have the privilege of paying my respects to the ancestors of the Ahom community at Lasit Maidam. Now Charaideo Maidam becoming a World Heritage Site will mean that more tourists will come here. You must also include this site in your future travel plans.
