A day before Karnataka votes in the crucial assembly elections, Prime
Minister Narendra Modi will embark on a two-day official visit to Nepal
on Friday May 11,2018
On Day 1 of his visit, PM Modi is expected to announce a direct bus route between Ayodhya and Janakpur, believed to be the birth places of Ram and Sita. He will also offer prayers at Janakpur’s Janaki Mandir.
The Prime Minister is also scheduled to visit Muktinath and Pashupati Nath and offer prayers at both those temples on Saturday, the day when Karnataka votes. The temple hopping in a foreign land will not be lost on the electorate of Karnataka, as television channels will be cutting to these images live and on polling day.
Pashupati Nath is one of the holiest shrines of Lord Shiva. Lingayats in Karnataka also worship the Linga, some of them wear it as a sign of belief around their necks. The symbolism of Modi offering prayers at the Jyotirlinga in Pashupati Nath will not be lost on the Lingayat voters of Karnataka.
I will be visiting Nepal on 11th and 12th May at the invitation of PM Mr. KP Sharma Oli. This visit reflects the high priority India attaches to friendly relations with Nepal. I will be holding extensive talks with PM Oli on ways to further deepen bilateral cooperation.
