New Delhi [India], August 4 –<\/strong> Delhi chief minister Rekha Gupta has said she will visit Nepal soon to offer prayers at the revered Pashupatinath temple underscoring the enduring religious and cultural ties between Nepal and India.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gupta expressed her desire to worship at the temple during a meeting with a Nepali delegation led by Sandeep Rana a member of Nepal’s House of Representatives elected from Palpa Constituency-1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Rana, the Delhi chief minister said she hopes to travel to Nepal in the near future to perform worship and seek blessings at the sacred Hindu shrine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the meeting, Gupta highlighted that the Pashupatinath Temple has long served as a symbol of the deep religious and cultural relationship shared by Nepal and India for centuries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The discussions also focused on expanding bilateral relations and encouraging greater cooperation between young people of both countries in areas of mutual interest and development, Rana said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Nepali delegation met Gupta while attending a programme organized by the Nepali Congress-affiliated Janasampark Samiti in India.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The delegation included Nepali Congress Lumbini Province President Amar Singh Pun, Lumbini Provincial Assembly member Nima Giri, party leader Sunita Kunwar, and youth leaders Sushant Acharya and Jeevan Tiwari.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The planned visit if confirmed would add to the steady flow of religious exchanges that continue to strengthen Nepal-India people-to-people ties.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
