Thakur presented a soulful bhajan evening as part of the Sardha Panchashatamotsav festival at the historic Shri Sansthan Gokarn Portuguese Jivottam Math. The event also marked the unveiling of a bronze idol of Lord Ram, attended by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Thousands of Devotees Gathered
Thousands of devotees flocked to witness the performance. Maithili’s melodious and heartfelt renditions of devotional songs enthralled the audience, creating an atmosphere of deep spirituality and celebration. Known for her traditional singing style, she added a unique charm to the sacred event, blending her political milestone with artistic expression.
A Historic Venue with Cultural Significance

Thakur’s performance, set against this backdrop of rich heritage, marked a grand spiritual and cultural debut for the newly-elected legislator.
