“The project, spread over nine acres, includes a temple with several deities, a Vedic education centre, proposed museums and auditorium, healing centre, among others. It aims to promote universal brotherhood, peace, and harmony through Vedic teachings,” a press statement by the Prime Minister’s Office said.

Several roads in Kharghar have been closed and traffic is being diverted by the Navi Mumbai police in order to ensure that the visit is smooth and people are not hindered by the visit.

Modi will also meet Mahayuti alliance MLAs in Mumbai, Maharashtra chief minister Eknath Shinde told news agency ANI.

“PM Modi is coming to Mumbai and will guide the Mahayuti MLAs. People have given us a landslide mandate – and hence, our responsibility has also increased. The PM has continuously supported our govt and that’s the reason our govt did well in the last two and half years and that’s why people have given us such a huge majority,” Eknath Shinde said.
