Chief Minister Dr. Mohan Yadav announces plans to develop religious tourism sites associated with Lord Shri Krishna and Lord Shri Ram in Madhya Pradesh, focusing on Janapav as a major destination, with details about the cost, development scope, and significance of these centers.
Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Dr. Mohan Yadav addressed the Bhoomi Poojan ceremony for the development of Shri Parshuram Lok and Shri Krishna Lok at Janapav in Indore district on Friday. The project aims to develop these sites on the lines of Shri Mahakal Lok, with an estimated cost of ₹17 crore.
According to Dr. Yadav, Janapav is a glorious land where Lord Shri Krishna received the Sudarshan Chakra from Maharishi Parshuram. It is a sacred and historically significant place. He said that it is a matter of great fortune for everyone to remember Lord Shri Krishna at this holy site on the occasion of Janmashtami, which is also the birthplace of Maharishi Parshuram and the origin of seven-and-a-half rivers.
The development includes redevelopment of the Yagya Kund, a grand auditorium, meditation cottages, a herbal garden, landscaping, a multipurpose building, and expanded public amenities. A ropeway to the hilltop is also planned for the convenience of devotees and tourists.
Chief Minister Dr. Yadav stated that Madhya Pradesh has a deep connection with Lord Shri Krishna and Lord Shri Ram. The government is working to bring this nearly 5,000-year-old glorious heritage to the fore once again. All places in Madhya Pradesh where Lord Shri Krishna is believed to have set foot will be developed as pilgrimage centres. Similarly, places associated with Lord Shri Ram’s presence will also be developed for religious tourism.
Chief Minister Dr. Yadav said that there are plans to develop Chitrakoot Dham, Janapav, ashrams associated with Lord Shri Ram’s forest journey, and other mythological sites, along with places associated with Lord Shri Krishna. Among the sites reflecting Lord Shri Krishna’s connection with Madhya Pradesh are areas associated with the abduction of Rukmini and places linked to battles fought in Dhar district. These sites will also be developed to bring their glorious history to life.
Lord Shri Krishna’s life inspires us to uphold dharma, truth, and valour. Through the Bhagavad Gita, he showed the world the path of action, dharma, and duty. The life of Lord Shri Krishna teaches us to stand for truth and dharma in every situation.
