Kanniyakumari: Prime Minister Narendra Modi began his third and final day of meditation on Saturday at the Vivekananda Rock Memorial in Kanniyakumari, officials reported. At sunrise, Modi performed the 'Surya Arghya,' a ritual in which he offered salutations to the sun, symbolising the Almighty.
The PM poured little water from a traditional, beaker-like small vessel into the sea as an offering (Arghya) and prayed using his prayer beads (Japa mala), they said.
Modi was clad in saffron and also paid floral tributes to a statue of Swami Vivekananda, they added.
He walked around the mandapam with his 'japa mala' in his hands.
