Ahmedabad, Monday: Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi today unveiled three elegant books portraying Gujarat’s glorious heritage by senior authors and historians.

The books are: Dr. Makrand Mehta’s ‘Gujarat-no Rajwadi Warso’, Dr. Rasesh Jamindar’s ‘Gujarat-na Sthal Nam-no Sarthkosh’ and Navinchandra Parekh’s ‘Ugta Rahejo Bhan’.

Mr. Modi complimented the authors for their through-provoking books. Speaking on the occasion, he said that the society is still largely unaware of varied social, economic and political aspects of India’s princely states and their rule. The princes are not just the family trees of kings or stories of their valour. Rather, they depict and portray the life and times of the contemporary periods.

The Chief Minister pointed out that Gujarat has maximum number of Sun Temples in India. The knowledge our ancestors had possessed about the Sun God and Environment is rare and fathomless. He advocated chronicling the history and past of every village and town of Gujarat and celebrating their birthdays, too.

Mr. Modi said that Gujarat Government has undertaken research on history of the police force and the Revenue Department on Revenue Administration Reforms.

Youth Services and Cultural Affairs Minister Ramanbhai Vora and Secretary Bhagyesh Jha were present on the occasion.

March 04, 2026

The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi, extended his heartfelt greetings to the people of the country on the occasion of Holi. He wished that this festival of colours and joy brings happiness, prosperity and success into everyone’s lives.

The Prime Minister said that the festival of Holi fills the entire atmosphere with new energy, which is its greatest speciality. He noted that the vibrant colours of happiness visible everywhere during the festival immerse everyone in a spirit of joy and celebration.

The Prime Minister also shared a Sanskrit Subhashitam-

उद्भिन्नस्तबकावतंससुभगाः प्रे खन्मरुन्नर्तिताः
पुष्पोद्गीर्णपरागपांशुललसत्पत्रप्रकाण्ड त्विषः।

गम्भीरक्रमपञ्चमोन्मदपिकध्वानोच्छलद्गीतयः
प्रत्युज्जीवितमन्मथोत्सव इव क्रीडन्त्यमू भूरुहः॥

The Shubhashitam conveys that Like beautiful lotus flowers, blossoming under the mesmerizing dance of the spring breeze, adorned with vibrant colors and fragrance, the glorious celebration of love flourishes exuberantly, filled with joyful melodies that awaken life itself.

The Prime Minister wrote on X;

“सभी देशवासियों को होली की अनंत शुभकामनाएं। रंग और उमंग से भरा यह त्योहार सबके लिए खुशियों की बहार लेकर आए। हर किसी के जीवन में सुख-समृद्धि और सफलता के रंगों की बौछार हो, यही कामना है।”

“होली का त्योहार पूरे माहौल में नई ऊर्जा भर देता है। यही इस उत्सव की बड़ी विशेषता है। हर तरफ जिस प्रकार खुशियों के रंग बिखरे नजर आते हैं, वो हर किसी को उल्लास और आनंद से सराबोर कर जाता है।
