WASHINGTON, Apr 30: Hundreds of BJP supporters conducted havans in various US cities over the weekend to pray for the victory of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the ruling party in the Lok Sabha elections.
Organised by Overseas Friends of BJP-USA, the havans were held in New Jersey, New York, Virginia, Maryland and Chicago on Sunday, a statement from the organisation said on Monday.
“These sacred rituals evoke spiritual strength and symbolise our collective determination to support BJP’s vision for a prosperous India under Prime Minister Modi’s leadership,” it said.
“It is a profound expression of our unwavering commitment to India’s progress and development,” said Adapa Prasad from OFBJP-USA.
Indian-American professionals, entrepreneurs, and residents of Chicago converged at a Hindu temple nestled in the city’s suburbs to partake in a sacred ‘havan’ ceremony.
The ‘Chandi havan’ ceremony served as a collective prayer imbued with the sincere hope for a resounding victory for the BJP, the statement said.
