Speaking on Saturday, Soren stated that respecting nature is the greatest form of worship, as the festival marks humanity's deep connection to the natural world.

The Sarhul festival, the state's biggest tribal event, is celebrated with vibrant traditions and symbolizes the renewal and inseparable bond between humans and nature. Participants, including the Chief Minister and his wife, partook in rituals at Ranchi's Karam Toli and Siramtoli, emphasizing the need to protect nature for future security.
