Indore is celebrating the Hariyali Amavasya today, which is an important religious festival for Hindus. The Amavasya that occurs during the month of Shravan is celebrated to honour Lord Shiva and Radha Krishna. Devotees visit Iskcon and other Radha Krishna temples in the city to offer their prayers.
This festival also symbolises the greenery that covers the earth in the rainy season. To mark the occasion, multiple programmes are being organised by various associations and activists. Environmentalist Swapnil Vyas believes that this Amavasya is a great opportunity to remind us of the importance of protecting the environment. He said, “Trees and plants are a unique gift of nature full of living energy, which not only give oxygen to everyone but also keep the environment pure and balanced. This Amavasya is not just a religious festival, but also a festival of resolution to make the earth green.”
Besides the religious celebration, the West Discom MD has asked the staff to work towards consumer satisfaction in Indore. The Model Code of Conduct has yet to come into force but a department has announced its implementation. Unfortunately, a farmer was run over by a city bus and the driver has been arrested in Bhopal.
Overall, Hariyali Amavasya is a reminder to us to take care of our environment. Let us take this opportunity to plant saplings and strive towards making the earth green.
