Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami on Saturday called Lord Shri Ram the soul of the country, adding that he has an "unbroken connection" with Uttarakhand. While addressing the Ramotsav program organised in Haldwani, Dhami said, "Lord Shri Ram has an unbroken connection with Uttarakhand. The origin of the Saryu River, on the banks of which Lord Shri Ram’s father and Maharaj Dashrath performed the ritual to have a child, is in Bageshwar district. When he returned to Ayodhya after the burning of Lanka and became Maryadapurushottam King Ramchandra, he performed Pitru Yagya in the Raghunath temple of Devprayag to avert the killing of arrogant Ravana."
