In a rare gesture of reverence to Dogra culture and art, Union Minister Dr. Jitendra Singh, who is also the Member of Parliament representing Udhampur in Lok Sabha, presented a new “Sarangi” music instrument to Gorinath, a noted traditional Dogra artist from Udhampur who was mentioned and praised by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in his recent radio broadcast of ” Mann Ki Baat”.<\/p>\n
While presenting the “Sarangi” instrument, the Minister said, it had been decided to present a new “Sarangi” instrument to Gorinath as a Diwali gift on behalf of PM Narendra Modi, but this could not happen because of the untimely demise of Dr Jitendra Singh’s brother and therefore, this was being done today soon after the mourning period was over.<\/p>\n
It is pertinent to mention that Gorinath featured in Prime Minister Narendra Modi\u2019s 115th episode of Mann Ki Baat, as an artist captivating audiences with his century-old Sarangi, a family heirloom,and also an artist who shares ancient stories and songs that showcase the essence of Dogra heritage.<\/p>\n
Prime Minister Narendra Modi praised Gorinath ji as an \u201cextraordinary individual\u201d whose devotion to his cultural roots has inspired a unique preservation of traditional art.<\/p>\n
Dr Jitendra Singh said, Prime Minister Modi\u2019s words were a proud moment for Udhampur, highlighting how Gorinath\u2019s tireless efforts breathe life into the region\u2019s rich history through music.<\/p>\n
The Prime Minister had remarked, \u201cIn different parts of the country,one finds many extraordinary people who are engaged in preserving cultural heritage in their own unique ways. A similar effort is being made by Gorinath ji of Udhampur.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
