PM Modi mops floor at Kalaram temple in Nashik | Watch

Prime Minister Narendra Modi mopped the floor at the Kalaram Temple in Maharashtra's Nashik on January 12.

A video of the same was shared by Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis. Fadnavis said that the prime minister took part in 'Swachhata Abhiyan'.

He added that Modi appealed to everyone to carry out Swachhata activities at temples across the country.

The prime minister, who is on a daylong visit to Maharashtra, offered prayers and took part in ‘bhajan’ and ‘kirtan’ and played cymbals at the shrine.

Modi’s visit to the famous Ram temple here came just 10 days before the consecration of the grand Ram temple in Ayodhya on January 22.

Kalaram temple trustees, advocate Aniket Nikam and Dhananjay Pujari, welcomed the PM on his arrival amid chants of 'Jai Shri Ram' by people on both sides of the road leading to the place.

Modi performed ‘pujan’ and ‘aarti’ of Lord Ganesh and Lord Ram at the temple. Chief priest Mahant Sudhirdas Pujari performed the rituals.

The prime minister performed ‘pradakshina’ (circumambulation) of the temple. He took part in ‘bhajan’ and ‘kirtan’ and played ‘taal’ (cymbals) along with other devotees at the temple.
