PM Narendra Modi to inaugurate Patrika Gate on September 8

Prime Minister Narendra Modi will inaugurate 'Patrika Gate' during a virtual ceremony at 11 am on September 8. The 'Patrika Gate' is situated at Jaipur's Jawaharlal Nehru Marg. The inaugural will also mark the beginning of a new tourist destination in the form of the Patrika Gate. On this occasion, the Prime Minister will also launch two books - Samvad Upanishad and Akshar Yatra - authored by Editor-in-Chief of Rajasthan Patrika Group Shri Gulab Kothari. Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot will be the special guest of this ceremony. Patrika Gate has been built as a unique memorial showcasing the architectural and cultural heritage of all the regions of Rajasthan.

Patrika Group has constructed 'Patrika Gate' as part of Mission Anupam Yojana of Jaipur Development Authority. The gate is built on the busiest Jawaharlal Nehru Marg of Jaipur and it is an attempt to bring together the art, craft, and cultural heritage of the state at one place. Like Mumbai's Gateway of India and Delhi's India Gate, Patrika Gate will enhance the pride of Jaipur. It will also be a Gateway of Rajasthan. The virtual ceremony scheduled to take place on September 8 will also witness the launching of two books authored by Shri Gulab Kothari. The first one will be 'Sanvad Upanishad'. This Upanishad will be available for the younger generation in the form of Vedic tradition and their science-language style. While the second book 'Akshar Yatra' introduces you to each alphabet and various forms of vowel-consonants that narrate the meaning of each letter very simply.

The 'Patrika Gate', which will be inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, will not only be a memorial of unified Rajasthan, but it will also give an insight into the culture of different regions of Rajasthan. Rajasthan Patrika is known for its engagement. It connects with readers not only through news but also through the initiatives it takes up. And Patrika Gate is one such big initiative. Over the years, readers have looked up to Rajasthan Patrika as a cultural ambassador of Rajasthan, a representative of Rajasthan to the world. Patrika Gate as a monument adds to the legacy of Patrika being embedded and unified with the cultural values of Rajasthan. Rajasthan Patrika connects Rajasthan with its culture and art.

The nine-point Vastu principle has been given special attention while designing Patrika Gate. The gate engraves the architecture, culture, and lifestyle of every corner of Rajasthan; from Sriganganagar to Banswara and from Jaisalmer to Bharatpur, encompassing the princely regions of Dhundhar, Mewar, Marwar, Hadauti, Shekhawati, Brij, Vagad, Godward, and Ajmer. If a line is drawn from the North to South on the map of Jaipur, then the adorable Govind Dev Ji Temple of Jaipur, Garh Ganesh, Tripolia Bazaar, Talkatora, Ramnivas Bagh, Birla Mandir, and then the World Trade Park to Patrika Gate, the ancient-archaic form appear on this line. In a way, Patrika Gate is the southern gate of Jaipur.

In our tradition, it has been said that the society from which we have taken so much, we must also have a sense of giving. This feeling of giving is so immense that it cannot be compared with anything else. Keeping this sentiment in mind, Patrika Group has been humbly accepting this sense of responsibility towards the society since its inception. The group has undertaken welfare programs like Ek Mutthi Anaj, Kargil Fund, Earthquake Relief Fund, Amritam Jalam, Hariyalo Rajasthan among others as part of its tradition to give back to our society. Patrika Gate is also a small attempt in this line aimed to take such welfare programs ahead.
