Modi Turns 76: Blood Camps, A Free 'Hanuman Ansh' Screening — 5 Things Happening In PM's 'Karmabhoomi' Today

From a Ganga jalabhishek and a 500-bike yatra to a free 'Hanuman Ansh' screening and a Gen Z blood drive — here's what's on in PM Modi's Varanasi on his 76th birthday.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi turns 76 on Thursday, and his karmabhoomi Varanasi is marking it with a month of BJP outreach. From a 500-strong bike yatra to a free screening of hit film Hanuman Ansh and a Gen Z blood drive, here’s what’s on — and how you can join in.
The occasion isn’t just a birthday for the BJP — it doubles as the launch of the party’s month-long “Seva Sankalp Abhiyan," marking 25 years since Modi took charge as Gujarat chief minister. UP chief minister Yogi Adityanath and defence minister Rajnath Singh lead the Varanasi programme, with the day built around a religious send-off, a political showcase, a Bollywood tie-in and a youth-driven blood drive — several of which locals and visitors can walk into directly.
