Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Monday visited Shri Kashi Vishwanath Dham and Kotwal Kalbhairav Temple in Kashi and prayed for the welfare of the people of the state.
According to officials, Yogi Adityanath first reached Shri Kashi Vishwanath Dham at 7 am and after seeking blessings, he visited Kashi Kotwal Kalbhairav Temple to offer his prayers.
The Chief Minister worshipped Baba Vishwanath through the 'Shodshopachar' method and prayed for the well-being of the people of Uttar Pradesh.

The puja be done for an Ishta Deva in a relatively short length of time on a daily basis as a spiritual practice (sadhana) that fosters discipline and commitment.
