Referring to the Kapal Mochan Tirtha in Yamunanagar, CM Saini highlighted its historical importance, stating that it was here that Guru Nanak Dev, the founder of Sikhism, introduced the concepts of langar, sangat, and pangat as part of the vision of Sarvadharm Sambhaav (equal respect for all religions).
