Prime Minister Narendra Modi began his 45-hour-long meditation at the famed Vivekananda Rock Memorial on Thursday evening. New images have emerged on Friday of PM in 'dhyan' mudra. While the PM chose Kedarnath cave to reflect and meditate following the end of campaign in 2019 Lok Sabha polls, now he has chosen a spiritually significant place in the southernmost tip in the mainland of the country.
