The pilgrimage priests of both the dhams and the devotees present there are also excited about the two-day program of the Prime Minister. Both Kedarnath and Badrinath temples are decorated with many quintals of flowers.

PM Modi also spoke openly with the working people working in development projects in Kedarnath. He asked them about their native states, benefits of government's welfare schemes and also inquired about their COVID vaccination status.
