Colonel Rajyavardhan Rathore (you know, the Olympian shooter & MP) wished everyone on the Jayanti of Baba Ramdev Ji.

It hit me—what a cool, layered moment.

Baba Ramdev Ji was a 14th-century folk deity from Rajasthan. A total rebel saint who fought against casteism and helped the downtrodden. He’s worshipped by everyone, across religions. A legit social justice icon from way back when.

And here’s a modern-day army colonel and sports champion honoring him.

It’s not about politics. It’s about continuity.

It’s about how the values of equality and service are forever. It’s about a modern India that still draws strength from its deep, powerful roots.

Old legends. New heroes. Same values.

Colonel Rajyavardhan Rathore (yes, the Olympian and MP) wished everyone for Bhadvi Chhath – a festival for the folk deity Shri Devnarayan Ji.

It’s not just a greeting. It’s a reminder of how incredibly diverse and deep Indian culture is. Beyond the big national festivals, there are thousands of these local, hyper-specific traditions filled with amazing stories and faith.

Shri Devnarayan Ji is a legendary hero worshipped in Rajasthan, a symbol of justice and protection. This festival is for him.

Love when public figures shine a light on lesser-known but deeply meaningful parts of our heritage. It’s cool. It’s respectful.

Makes me want to go learn about the local legends and festivals from my own hometown.
