Prime Minister Narendra Modi has emerged as a strong brand ambassador for pilgrimage and tourism in Uttarakhand. At a time when natural disasters had impacted travel to Kedarnath, his visit to the shrine helped send a message of safe pilgrimage to people across the country and the world.
Following his visits, there has been an unprecedented increase in the number of devotees visiting Kedarnath. Similarly, after he visited Adi Kailash in the Pithoragarh district, the region has witnessed a surge in pilgrim footfall. Last year in March, the Prime Minister visited Mukhba in the Uttarkashi district, the winter abode of Goddess Ganga, promoting winter pilgrimage and boosting year-round tourism in the state, according to the release.
