Attending the celebration, Deputy Chief Minister Chowna Mein paid homage to the founder of the Donyi-Polo faith, Golgi Bote Talom Rukbo and remembered all the pioneers who brought forward a revolution to unite and strengthen the indigenous faith believers through improvisation in the traditional beliefs and prayers system, and by institutionalizing the Donyi-Polo Gangging.
Emphasizing the significance of holding on to ancient faiths in society, Mein said the central government under Prime Minister Narendra Modi is committed to preserving the various forms of traditions spread across the diverse states in India.
