Prime Minister Narendra Modi offered prayers at the Kashi Vishwanath Temple on Monday ahead of inaugurating phase 1 of the Kashi Vishwanath Dham project constructed at a cost of around Rs 339 crores.The Prime Minister, who is in his Lok Sabha constituency for two days, offered 'gangajal', chandan, ashes and milk to Lord Shiva at the Kashi Vishwanath Temple.Adoring the mustard-coloured outfit, PM Modi also performed the 'shringar' and Aarti of Lord Shiva.The Prime Minister arrived at the temple on Alaknanda cruise, a double-decker boat and took a holy dip in the River Ganga.Later in the evening, he will also witness the Ganga Aarti while on-board a Ro-Ro Vessel at around 6 pm.A total of 23 buildings will be inaugurated in phase 1 of the project.
