New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi offered prayers at Shri Guru Ravidas Vishram Dham Mandir in Delhi's Karol Bagh on the occasion of Ravidas Jayanti on Wednesday.'

PM Modi took part in 'Shabad Kirtan' at Shri Guru Ravidas Vishram Dham Mandir in Delhi's Karol Bagh.

PM Modi was elected from the Varanasi Lok Sabha seat. Modi said he feels proud to state that his government has imbibed the spirit of Guru Ravidas in all its steps and schemes.

Also, Punjab Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi offered prayers at the Ravidas Temple in Varanasi. 
The chief minister reached the temple early in the morning and spent about 45 minutes listening to devotional songs. 

The Election Commission of India (ECI) postponed polling for the Punjab Assembly elections from February 14 to 20 after the State government and political parties raised concern that many devotees will be in Varanasi to celebrate Guru Ravidas’s birth anniversary on February 16 and miss out on voting.

Sant Ravidas belonged to the ‘bhakti’ movement during the 15th to 16th century and his hymns are included in the Guru Granth Sahib. 

Ravidas was born on 15 January 1377 CE  in the Chamar (cobbler) community. His birthplace was a locality known as Seer Govardhan in the city of Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh state, India. 

The birthplace is now marked by the Shri Guru Ravidass Janam Asthan (Begampura), and is a major place of pilgrimage for the followers of Guru Ravidas today. Ravidassias believe that Ravidas died in Benares at the age of 151.
