President Droupadi Murmu on Tuesday greeted citizens on the eve of the harvest festival Onam and Eid-e-Milad-un-Nabi, the birthday of Prophet Muhammad. In a message, she said Onam is an occasion to express gratitude to nature for the new harvest and celebrates the spirit of brotherhood and unity in diversity.
The president prayed that Onam brings happiness, peace, good health and prosperity, and inspires citizens to contribute to the nation's progress. She extended warm greetings to all citizens, especially the people of Kerala in India and abroad.
In a separate message for Eid-e-Milad-un-Nabi, President Murmu said the festival is an occasion to recall the preachings of Prophet Muhammad. She said his teachings inspire pious conduct and dutifulness, and urged citizens to work towards building an inclusive and developed India.
Indian Opinion Analysis
Presidential greeting messages during religious festivals are a longstanding convention in India's secular framework, intended to signal the state's respect for all faiths. Onam is the major state festival of Kerala, while Eid-e-Milad-un-Nabi is observed by Muslims on the 12th of Rabi' al-awwal in the Islamic calendar, this year both festivals fell close together. Such messages typically carry no political weight but are routinely issued by the Rashtrapati Bhavan for all major religious and harvest festivals. The next set of similar greetings will likely be seen around Ganesh Chaturthi and Dussehra in the coming weeks.
