The Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) has invited people from various backgrounds including politics, business, entertainment, religion, sports, and culture.

This includes key figures from Congress, Trinamool Congress, Aam Aadmi Party, Shiv Sena (Uddhav Thackeray), Nationalist Congress Party, National Conference, and Communist Party of India (Marxist).
Prominent leaders from Congress like Mallikarjun Kharge, Sonia Gandhi, Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury, and former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh won’t be present, raising questions about the party’s stance on the event.
Leaders from Trinamool Congress (Mamata Banerjee) and Aam Aadmi Party (Arvind Kejriwal) are also skipping the ceremony, reflecting diverse political perspectives and regional considerations.
