Monday was a day of pride for the people of Uttarakhand when the divine idol of Lord Shri Ramlala seated in Ayodhya was adorned in Shubhvastram decorated with the world-famous Aipan art of Devbhoomi.

In his message issued by the CMO on this occasion, the Chief Minister said that Uttarakhand has a special place on the tourism map of the country and the world due to its rich culture and heritage.

Uttarakhand will set up a corpus fund that would be used for the protection of the art and culture of the tribal population of the hill State, said its Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami on Tuesday.
