Bihar to Appoint Convenors for Sanatan Dharma Promotion
The Bihar government is going to appoint a special person, called a convenor, in each of the 38 districts of Bihar.
These convenors will help promote Sanatan Dharma, which is another name for Hinduism.
They will be chosen from among the chief priests and will work with the heads of registered temples.
The convenors will make sure that temples hold special prayers and events on certain days.
They will also ensure that temples have areas for physical training and spread the importance of Hindu festivals and values.
The council that oversees the temples will publish a religious calendar listing important Hindu festivals and observances, which will be shared through the temples.
