The event showcased the coordination of the organising committee led by Anil Sole, Renu Agrawal, and their team. Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis praised the Mahotsav as “a beautiful gift to the city,” lauding its efforts to provide a platform for both regional and national artists. Union Minister Nitin Gadkari, inspired by the massive turnout, proposed the creation of a 1-lakh-capacity stadium in Nagpur to host such grand cultural gatherings in future.

 

Gadkari proposes 1 lakh capacity stadium in city Impressed by the overwhelming participation in the Khasdar Sanskrutik Mahotsav, Union Minister Nitin Gadkari proposed the construction of a 1 lakh capacity cultural stadium in Nagpur. He noted that thousands of citizens were unable to attend the concerts due to limited space and said, “The city deserves an iconic venue to host large scale cultural and spiritual gatherings.” He added that the increasing response from the public reflects Nagpur’s growing cultural consciousness and that such a facility would elevate the city’s profile as a premier destination for major national and international events.
