India marks PM Narendra Modi's 75th birthday with Ganga Aarti, rangoli, wishes and more

Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s 75th birthday on Wednesday was marked by a flood of greetings from Union ministers, chief ministers, global leaders, and citizens across the country. From prayers at gurudwaras to rangolis in schools and Ganga Aarti, the day turned into a nationwide celebration.

Union Home Minister Amit Shah called Modi’s leadership the very definition of transformation. “The longest bridge in Assam, the world’s highest Chenab Railway Bridge in Kashmir, semiconductor units, digital public infrastructure—these are symbols of India becoming number one in every field under the Modi government. Today, when even vegetable vendors proudly display UPI, the meaning of being Narendra Modi becomes clear.”

मोदी जी के नेतृत्व में भारत वैश्विक आकांक्षाओं का केंद्र भी बना है। अंतरिक्ष में चाँद के दक्षिणी ध्रुव से लेकर द्वारका में समुद्र की गहराई तक, उन्होंने विरासत और विज्ञान दोनों को गौरव दिलाया है। उनके नेतृत्व में आज भारत स्पेस सेक्टर में नए कीर्तिमान बना रहा है।

Union Petroleum Minister Hardeep Singh Puri revealed that prayers were offered in five major gurudwaras — Patna Sahib, Bangla Sahib, Singh Sabha, Kirtangadh Sahib, and Shri Guru Singh Sabha — for Modi’s long life and health. “Today, we are a $4.4 trillion economy, ranked fourth globally,” he said, adding, “With the current GDP growth, we will soon become the third-largest economy.”

President Droupadi Murmu, in her message, praised the prime minister for “instilling a culture of achieving great goals” and prayed for his “health and joy.”

Assam CM Himanta Biswa Sarma described Modi as “the world’s most popular Prime Minister, the true son of Mother India, the flag-bearer of Indian culture. Under your able leadership, not only has the pace of India’s development accelerated and the deprived received their due rights, but the nation’s pride has also reached new heights across the entire world.”
