The puja held on Monday, August 11, was special for Dhaneshwari Devi of Folgat village in Himachal Pradesh’s Chamba district as it came before the tulsi transplantation time and before the Independence Day. Her special guests included Block Development Officer Mahesh Thakur, Sub-Divisional Magistrate Priyanshu Khati and Deputy Commissioner Mukesh Repaswal. While the first officer made it to the puja, the other two could not but they promised to visit her on her return from Delhi. “It is a matter of pride for the entire district that she has been invited to attend the I-Day function in Delhi,” says the Chamba DC. Dhaneshwari, 40, is into medicinal farming, runs a self-help group under her name and will be a special guest at the Independence Day function at the Red Fort.
