During the auspicious occasion of Navratri, which started on Sunday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi will observe his nine-day fast, a practice that he has been following for more than four decades.
PM Modi started his nine-day Navratri fast as he did a day-long tour of two states. PM Modi will be fasting through his hectic trip abroad from April 3-6.
The Prime Minister will strictly maintain a diet consisting only of one specific fruit, once a day, during these 9 days, joining millions of other devotees who will be observing fast on the pious occasion.
In 2012, Prime Minister Modi had mentioned in a blog that he has been fasting during Navratri for 35 years. During his U.S. visit in 2014, he did not break his tradition and strictly consumed only lemon water.
Meanwhile, Prime Minister Narendra Modi will embark on a two-nation tour of Thailand and Sri Lanka this week with a broad focus on boosting regional cooperation under India's newly announced 'MAHASAGAR policy' and vision for a stable and prosperous Indo-Pacific.
In the first leg of the tour, Modi will visit Bangkok from April 3 to 4 to participate in the sixth BIMSTEC Summit being hosted by Thailand. It will be the prime minister's third visit to Thailand, the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) said on Friday.
From Thailand, Modi will travel to Sri Lanka for a three-day trip to hold talks with top leadership of the island nation.
