The other devotees discussed the religious faith of Rajasthan Chief Minister's family members. Tuesday was the first day of the 'Govardhan Parikrama' and this 'Parikrama' will be completed in five days - that is on January 1. The 'Dandavat Parikrama' will conclude with 'Bhandara' on January 1.

"The Chief Minister along with coming to Bharatpur every month, he also used to visit Shri Giriraj ji and also used to undertake the 21 kilometers 'Parikrama' once a year.
