An old video that purportedly showed the Hindu prayer Gayatri Mantra being chanted at Pakistan’s prime minister’s swearing-in ceremony has reappeared
The video in question does not show Shehbaz Sharif’s swearing-in event, despite the deceptive caption. Rather, it’s a video of a Holi party that happened in Pakistan in 2017. It was not a political function but rather a joyous affair when the woman was spotted repeating the Gayatri Mantra.
Is the video of the gayatri mantra playing during Pakistan Prime Minister’s oath taking ceremony real or fake on Twitter/X
The singer’s statement and news reports all provide solid evidence that the video was taken during a Holi celebration rather than a political occasion.
Many reports from 2017 provide clarification on Gayatri Mantra video’s original source. Media reports verified that the Gayatri Mantra recitation was part of a Holi celebration rather than a political inauguration. Additionally, a video report on the singer’s identity and the background of her performance was aired on BBC Hindi’s official YouTube page.

The singer Narodha Malni who is featured in this widely shared video gave firsthand account of what happened. In an interview, she described what it was like to recite the Gayatri Mantra during Pakistan’s Holi festival. The fact that the video has no connection to any formal swearing-in event is made more credible by this first-hand report.
Furthermore, news reports from Pakistan dated March 14, 2017, confirmed that the occasion was a Holi celebration that former prime minister Nawaz Sharif was present at. Sharif’s statements during the occasion, which emphasised tolerance and acceptance towards religious minorities, were emphasised in reports from publications. His statement emphasised how crucial it is for all cultures to accept and understand one another.
