Maharashtra CM Launches Campaign Connecting Gen Z with Lord Shiva Temples
Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis has launched a campaign targeting Gen Z to connect them with the state's cultural heritage, focusing on Lord Shiva temples during the holy month of Shravan. The initiative includes social media content, such as AI-generated videos narrating temple stories, and aligns with broader efforts like job fairs and the Tiranga Yatra. The campaign draws inspiration from RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat's recent appeal to youth to stay rooted in their culture, aiming to blend cultural pride with political engagement.
