In a unique and heartfelt gesture, former Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan introduced an eighth vow at the wedding of his son, Kartikeya Chouhan, who tied the knot with Amanat Bansal in a grand ceremony in Jodhpur. The couple took this additional vow, committing themselves to environmental conservation alongside the traditional seven vows of Hindu marriage.
कार्तिकेय और अमानत को आठवें वचन के रूप में प्रकृति की सेवा का वचन दिलाया। आने वाली पीढ़ियों के लिए धरती सुरक्षित रहे, इसलिए दोनों बच्चों ने अपने जन्मदिन, वैवाहिक वर्षगांठ सहित अन्य मंगल अवसरों पर पौधरोपण का संकल्प लिया है।
बच्चों, मानव जीवन अमूल्य है, ये लोक के कल्याण के लिए है।… pic.twitter.com/lqKzonX82s
