The state tourism department has taken the initiative in line with Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami’s vision to promote multidimensional tourism activities in the state apart from religious tourism.
Tourism Minister Satpal Maharaj said the government is trying to ensure that the tourists who come to the state must return home with a better experience and the Nakshatra Sabha is a step in that direction. Emphasis is also being laid on developing new tourist destinations in the state, he said.
