“A wish for happiness, warmth, love and light," the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leader captioned the video.

He also sent out Christmas greetings for his followers: “Merry Christmas! May the light of love shine upon you and your life be filled with endless blessings in this season. May this festival bring more sparkle, love, light, joy, peace, prosperity & harmony to one and all! Wishing you all a season filled with endless happiness, brightness and merry-making!”

This was the first Christmas for Katyayani, who was born on March 27. The little girl is her parents' first child and was named by her grandfather Lalu Prasad Yadav, another former chief minister of Bihar; ‘Katyayani’ is an aspect of Mahadevi and the slayer of the tyrannical demon Mahishasura. The goddess is the sixth among the Navadurgas - the nine forms of the Hindu goddess Durga who is worshipped during the festival of Navaratri.
