The journey, launched under the Somnath Swabhiman Parv, witnessed immense enthusiasm among devotees who gathered in large numbers to be part of the spiritually significant event.

The special train carrying pilgrims departed amid the resonating sounds of conch shells and Vedic chants, creating a deeply devotional atmosphere. Devotees from various districts across the state expressed their happiness and gratitude, stating that the initiative has fulfilled a long-cherished dream for many who had been unable to visit the sacred Somnath Temple.

Many participants praised both Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath and Prime Minister Narendra Modi for making this pilgrimage accessible to the common people. They emphasized that the government has taken a thoughtful step in recognizing and addressing the religious aspirations of citizens.

Anant Tiwari from Azamgarh highlighted that the scheme is a blessing for economically weaker sections. He noted that many people have deep faith but are unable to undertake pilgrimages due to financial constraints. This initiative, he said, provides them with an opportunity to fulfill their spiritual desires.

Anant Rana from Meerut, who is visiting Somnath for the first time, mentioned that the yatra would especially benefit people from rural areas. Devotees from Bijnor and Gorakhpur also welcomed the move, stating that the government is respecting the faith of every section of society.
