Ramachandra Guha had a meltdown on Friday after PM Modi inaugurated the Samadhi of Adi Shankaracharya in Kedarnath.

"This decade belongs to Uttarakhand. In the next 10 years, the state will receive more tourists than it did in the last 100 years,” said PM Modi.

PM Modi discussed how Adi Shankara awakened the 'Chetana'(consciousness) of a civilisation that was forgetting its own roots and made us Indians aware of our origins, our spiritual destination and in that way, he revived Dharma throughout India.

"We got Krishna Shile from HD Kote (town in Mysuru district). This rock can withstand rain, sun, fire, air and harsh climate. I didn’t take a single day off," said sculptor Arun Yogiraj.
