Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday extended his greetings to the people of Odisha on Raja Parba.
“Greetings to the people of Odisha on the occasion of Raja Parba. May this festival bring happiness and prosperity in everyone’s life,” he tweeted.
Raja Parba is a four-day-long festival and the second day signifies beginning of the solar month of Mithuna.
The festival welcomes the agricultural year all over Odisha, which marks, through biological symbolism, the moistening of the sun dried soil with the first showers of the monsoon in mid June thus making it ready for productivity. (ANI)
