Neither did they know Hindi nor Sanskrit well, yet as soon as the three Italian women sang Mangal Bhavan Amangal Haari, Dravahu Sudsarath Ajir Bihari, Ram Siyaram Siyaram Jai-Jai Ram... in tune and rhythm, the atmosphere of the Chief Minister's residence became devotional. One after the other, they kept reciting verses from Ramayana. After this, when these women sang Shiv Tandava Stotra and Mahishasur Mardini Stotra, the Chief Minister also greeted them with folded hands.
The delegation from Italy met Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath at his residence on Sunday.
