Chandigarh: The Chandigarh unit of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) commemorated the 300th birth anniversary of Lokmata Punyashlok Devi Ahilyabai Holkar with reverence and devotion at the party office in Sector 33 on Thursday.
Former BJP National Secretary Sunil Deodhar was the keynote speaker at the event and addressed party workers on the remarkable life, legacy, and contributions of Ahilyabai Holkar. The program began with the ceremonial lighting of the lamp and floral tributes.
Deodhar, in his address, said, “Ahilyabai Holkar was not just a ruler but a symbol of social justice, devotion, and women empowerment. The way she led with wisdom, compassion, and spiritual strength in the 18th century remains an inspiration even today. She considered governance as service to God and saw herself as a humble trustee of the state.”
