The streets reverberated with the sound of band-baja, drums, and chants of ‘Har Har Mahadev’. Women participated in the procession in large numbers.

Dozens of tableaux drew large crowds, showcasing different forms of Mahadev. He added that more than 50 women’s organisations participated in this event, making it grand and divine.
